I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at OpenAI (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
This was the first coding round after the HR call. It began with a self-introduction, followed by the coding portion, where I worked through the problem and explained my thinking step by step.
It was a really fun interview process! I got four interviews, and there was a final round after that. The problems asked were interesting and challenging and I had a great time. I'm excited to apply again soon!
