I applied online. I interviewed at Ixana (San Francisco, CA) in June 2026
Interview
So I did three rounds with this company, HR, technical, and then a salary chat. The technical guy was a solid engineer but honestly not very nice. He asked things in a formal way like they were supposed to be easy, and then kept cutting me off while I was trying to answer. Right after that, they emailed me wanting to talk about the salary and project details. The offer was so low, around $90k for California!. After that interrogation, I thought they’d at least be paying top dollar, but turns out they’re just another startup.

Interview
I had applied off campus, I received a mail asking me to choose my available time for an interview of 30 mins. They don't conduct OA, as they don't believe online tests are effective and students may cheat, so direct interview if your resume is shortlisted.
