I was approached via email for a role, leading to a comprehensive interview process. It involved a telephonic screen followed by an onsite visit with four rounds covering system design, algorithms, and coding.
Recruiter screen then moved to a same day coding + architecture rounds. The people were friendly, but I found the questions difficult and hard to complete in the allotted time. The bar is very high these days, and short of perfection and strong internal referrals, the odds of success are low.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at OpenAI (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
1 hour coding interview using coderpad, I used Python language. code had to run and test cases had to pass
1 hour system design interview using excalidraw
Both back to back using Google meet
pick prompt b/w coding, ml coding, and applied statistics. applied statistics presented a compute scenario where knowledge of statistics provides practical insights into addressing the problem in the scenario that was presented
