I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SIERA.AI (Austin, TX) in Jun 2021
Interview
It was a 5-part interview.
1. Short 15 minutes interview to understand the purpose of the job and for me to highlight my value (broadly)
2. 30 minutes interview to highlight my work and talk about myself
3. Test assignment to prove my capabilities
4. Discussion with other senior executives
5. Discussion with HR Manager
The interview process consisted of three main stages. It began with a coding challenge designed to assess my problem-solving abilities and coding efficiency under time constraints. After clearing that round, I moved on to a technical interview where my core skills relevant to the role were evaluated. The final stage was an HR round.

Interview
Second worst interview I've experienced. We did phone screens and a 2hr online coding test, and then I was invited in for a day of on-site interviews. I got there at 9am, was led into a conference room, and was given a 4hr online coding test to complete alone. Then lunch. Then back to the conference room for another several-hour online coding test. Then I was told we would have a few face-to-face interviews, after 5pm. I left.
