Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Abnormal AI (Bengaluru).
Entrevista
I was given a take-home assignment with a completion time of 24 hrs. It was about building a file storage vault. AI tools were allowed, but they did not provide any. I had to buy my own.
Expectation was also there to record a video on how I used AI tools to develop the task.
They rejected me without giving any feedback. Very bad experience

Entrevista
Recruiter screen followed by manager screen, then a coding exercise with AI assistant, then a take-home code review.
The recruiter seems like an honest and nice guy. Super upfront about the interview process and salary band.
The manager is bragging about how he wants 10x results from his team with the help of AI. He questioned my experience as if I don't know anything. Kept saying he didn't see the scope of my work, even though I explained the multi-team project I've led for a few quarters. Even asked me how many lines of code on a service I built.
I didn't even bother explaining any further since he already made his mind. I can also imagine how stressful it would be to work with him based on the bragging about 10x results. He even asked me why do I even applied to this job if I'm not a good fit.
I was excited about the role, but after talking with the manager, it is totally a waste of time interviewing there.

Entrevista
Initial screen with recruiter, then passed to hiring manager, then onto a panel interview with 4 different people.
It felt like a lot of people were on edge in the organisation, I'm assuming they are under a lot of pressure as the competition is now catching up. By the time I'd reached the end of the panel, I was convinced that I didn't want to work there. Luckily for me, I didn't get any response for 2 weeks from them (I didn't chase as I was quite happy to not be put through) but I couldn't believe they had such a bad candidate expeirence!
Imagine going through 3 rounds of interviews (7 different ones) and not being provided any feedback or anything at all.
Anyway, 4 weeks later I received an automated rejection e-mail from them out of the blue, made me laugh.
