Mistral AI Senior Software Engineer interview questions

1. Call with the recruiter about Mistral, candidate motivations and some elements of behavioural questions about past roles 2. Coding interview - LeetCode style. Starts with a simple task, progressively made more difficult / with extra optimisations. Progressed to final part with optimisation, proposed a good optimisation but implemented it only partially correctly 3. System design - design a scalable AI system. Interviewer seemed quite opinionated and didn't seem to appreciate a solution he didn't pre-emptively have in mind. I had a feeling I would be failed 5 minutes into the interview. Overall I think 1st and 2nd round interviewers were reasonable and personable, while experience with 3rd round interviewer was rather bad. So to sum up I would rate the whole process as neutral.
