Veritone Software Engineer interview questions

I reached out to someone senior, an old connection, he put me in touch with a recruiter. I went onsite to speak to the recruiter who seemed a mix of rushed and rude. The recruiter didn't have my resume, misread it, and then gave me a hard time for what he misread. I thought I was interviewing for a junior AI role... The recruiter set up the whole interview around a VP OS or platform engineering role. I was given questions about OS, hardware, logic gates, semaphores. This is stuff I hadn't reviewed since my sophomore year in college. Some of the interviewers were nice and accommodating, some were a mix of rude and egotistic. When I pressed about how I thought this was an AI role at an AI company, I was told this company is more of a company that deals with APIs and the platform but doesn't do much AI work itself. I think this was the worst interview experience I've ever had. Badly organized, rude people, the company's entire premise of being a leader in the AI space is nonsense. Sorry to the connection of mine that referred me but seriously, a pretty terrible process, I've had better experiences at unfunded startups.

1) Phone screening with company recruiter 2) Live coding screening with Engineer 3) On-site interview The on-site was a mix of whiteboard coding + architecture cessions with engineers / architect and behavioral interviews with managers. All the people I spoke to were engaging and respectful. The questions were all relevant and made sense to me. The only negative point is that I was first told they were going to make an offer, and few days later they changed their mind. Not sure exactly what happened, but I don't think it's a common thing that companies do and it was a disappointment for me.
