The process is rigged. I don't even think they are interested in hiring. Most likely they just have job titles listed on their site for a "unicorn" that happens to pass by. I went through both a coding and architecture round. Both questions were not difficult. I went at the pace that the interviewers desired, balancing discussing over just spilling the answer onto the page.
I was given a no based on my performance on the coding round. The coding question was easy. They start by showing the first part of four-five parts. I asked the interviewer about the number of parts and pacing, They assured me to go at a casual pace, slowly test, etc. I got through the first 2 parts without any issues, doing multiple test cases while discussing.
Then after those 2 parts, the interviewer jumped to the 4th part and said let's verbally discuss it. He called it a "bonus." Again, I went through it without any issues and he agreed with my good implementation.
Most likely, they have jobs posted as a requirement for internal promotions or H1B hires. Don't waste your time interviewing here.
This whole process dragged on for about a month, much longer than I anticipated. It kicked off with a technical phone screen, where I was asked about data structures and algorithms. The DSA questions were tough, especially one regarding matrix traversal. Mid-way through the coding round, it clicked that I had tackled this exact problem on PracHub just days before, which helped me structure my answer. The onsite included system design questions that were challenging, but I didn’t end up receiving an offer. Overall, it was an intense experience.

Domanda 1
Given an n x n matrix where each row and each column is sorted in ascending order, return the kth smallest element in the matrix. Walk through both the min-heap approach and the binary-search-on-value approach, compare their time and space complexity, and discuss which one you'd prefer for very large matrices that don't fit in memory.
2 rounds phone screen(1 coding + 1 system design) and 4 rounds onsite interviews(1 coding + 1 design + 1 deep dive + 1 behavior).
general good experience but need fast coding
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'altra fonte. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso OpenAI (Dublino, Dublino) nel mese di mag 2026
Colloquio
Two hiring manager interviews. Followed by a technical interview on coding and system design. Asked to design a devbox system (CI/CD pipeline). For the coding roundm I was asked to design the LRU/LFU cache.
