J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Veritone (Costa Mesa, CA) en juill. 2019
Entretien
Phone screen followed by an in-person interview (2 technical, 2 behavioral). Technical interview consisted of several whiteboard questions which were average in difficulty. I had no trouble solving these questions. Everything went well, but the offer they gave me was well below average for the area/role. They were not very flexible with their offer and seem to have a budget issue. I gave them my salary expectation, and they said they would get back to me. They never did. I received no update or feedback, and it felt as if they did not value my time/interest.

Entretien
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.
