C3 AI Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Might be the worst of the lot out there. Such an unprofessional interview process. They basically dragged to 2.5 months for no reason. The hiring manager was quite slow and felt he wasn't invested in the process. The recruiter seriously wasn;t even responding to any email I sent. Seriously you guys should not hire candidates if you don't respect candidates's time. Step 1 - HackerRank which I breezed through Step 2 - Eng Manager round General questions. Behavioral questions. Felt like he had a question bank and was asking off of it Step 3 (2 Technicals + 1 System Design) Nothing too difficult. Basic DSA. Wasn't difficult either. But the system design wasn't like a typical system design. He randomly asked me to write some code rather than a discussion. Step 4 Onsite Met with Eng Manager again and someone else on the team. General Questions Step 5 (Refernce Check) Seriosuly I don't understand why this is needed at this phase. This basically ate up 2-3 weeks of my time. You have to schedule the time between your references and manager. This is straight pointless and I felt could have been done later Finally they mentioned they need the CEO's approval before generating the offer letter and that they were submitting my profile as the candidate. 2 weeks wasted again only to finally say they are not moving forward. This might be the worst experience I've had at a company. Please don;t bank too much on the process here. I wouls strongly suggest that you take other interviews seriously over this one
