I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at OpenAI (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
They were very clear and direct. I didn't make it past the first round, but they updated me immediately that they weren't moving forward and that my expertise could be applied to other roles.
Recruiter reached out to me via email and had a first call. Next steps were a take home exercise that got I had to present on a call. After that, the next round was I had to identify bugs in code without actually writing any code myself.
