Had the best interview out of all during my job search. I connected with all of my interviewers, and it felt like working with an actual team. Everyone was engaged and excited during the process, and the all the rounds were over within 2 weeks.

Round 1 — AI Behavioral Screening An automated AI bot round asking questions about your background and experience. No coding involved — purely behavioral. Treat it seriously as it's a real filter before moving forward. Round 2 — LeetCode Style Coding Round A standard technical coding round with algorithm and data structure problems. Be comfortable with your DSA fundamentals. Round 3 — Online Coding Assessment A timed coding assessment administered through an online platform. Similar to Round 2 but in a structured, proctored format. Practice working under time pressure. Round 4 — Behavioral Round with Engineering Director (Virtual) This is Axon's ACE behavioral round, conducted by a director-level engineering leader. Follows Axon's ACE values framework — expect deep STAR-style questions around ownership, cross-team collaboration, technical decision-making, and initiative. They will drill multiple levels deep on anything on your resume, so know your projects cold including the business context behind every decision. Don't treat this like a standard behavioral interview. Round 5 — Onsite (Seattle, In-Person) Final round in Seattle with senior engineering leadership. Behavioral in nature, focused on role fit, career trajectory, communication, values alignment, and AI readiness. More conversational than Round 4 but still rigorous. Come with a clear narrative on your career arc and genuine, specific reasons for wanting to join Axon.
