I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VAIX in May 2025
Interview
The process consisted of just one 1-hour interview conducted by 2 senior management level employees.
The interview started with the usual get-to-know-you / present yourself routine and then proceeded with a round of general university level questions about compilers, binary search, hashmaps and complexities.
After that there was some live coding on a leetcode live coding challenge and pretty much that was it.
My experience was that even though I answered the questions and solved the challenge, while I was lead to believe that I would be getting an offer, I ultimately got rejected and got provided no reason on why that was -- just received the standard rejection letter from hr.
