How it went
The candidate was initially contacted by a contractor before transitioning to an OpenAI recruiter. The interview process included a recruiter screen, a technical screen with system design and coding, and a virtual onsite with two technical interviews, behavioral questions, a cross-functional behavioral discussion, and a deep dive into a past project. The candidate noted that the coding challenges were less focused on typical LeetCode-style problems and more on practical, large-scale system design, with the project deep dive being particularly intensive.
