I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at C3 AI in Jul 2023
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me, expressing interest in my background and skills. I went through a 30-minute behavioral interview, followed by two 45-minute technical interviews. Despite positive feedback about my performance, the entire process took a disastrous turn when the recruiter informed me that they couldn't move forward with my application due to the lack of a degree in STEM, even though they had initiated contact with me. This experience left me disheartened, as I had invested significant time and effort in preparing for and participating in multiple interviews, only to be turned away based on a rigid requirement. It felt like gatekeeping, and I can't help but question the company's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. After all, they had approached me as they were searching for strong developers at all levels to join their team. Overall, my interview experience has left a negative impression. I hope that they will reconsider their approach to hiring and recognize the value that candidates from various backgrounds can bring to their organization.

I applied online. I interviewed at C3 AI (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process wasn’t hard. However, my system design interview got cancelled two times and I was told it would be HLD based round, but the interviewer asked me a low level design question. I had not prepared for it at all. The coding round was very very very easy and I passed it without any problem.
The recruiters also almost never reply to you if you have any questions about the interview process
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at C3 AI in Dec 2025
Interview
One round with manager with behavior questions before the technical ones.
There was no salary range discussion or information about the role. Then 2 technical rounds for coding and system design. The interviewer of first round did not show up and the 2nd round was with a manager to implement a design system, the interview ends right in the middle since the manger says something like: "Work more on your design skills and we will consider you later". The interviewer was very impatient and lacks communication skills. I don't think they give any respect to the candidate's time and effort, avoid if you have another opportunity.
