I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at C3 AI in May 2022
Interview
After applying, got a questionnaire to fill (to filter out candidates I think). After that 30mins call with current Solution Engineer to learn more about my background/experience. Next step was hackerrank take home challenge - 4 questions in 90 minutes. I could attempt only 3. Next steps was 45 minutes coding interview round with another current Solution Engineer. Could not clear this round. Did not expect software engineer level coding question for a Solution engineer interview. Next round would have been Database design interview and Culture fit interview round.

Question 1
Graph coding questions!! (They defined what a star graph is and asked to identify if there are star graphs - something like this. Can't remember exactly)
API and array-based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at C3 AI (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process wasn’t hard. However, my system design interview got cancelled two times and I was told it would be HLD based round, but the interviewer asked me a low level design question. I had not prepared for it at all. The coding round was very very very easy and I passed it without any problem.
The recruiters also almost never reply to you if you have any questions about the interview process
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at C3 AI in Dec 2025
Interview
One round with manager with behavior questions before the technical ones.
There was no salary range discussion or information about the role. Then 2 technical rounds for coding and system design. The interviewer of first round did not show up and the 2nd round was with a manager to implement a design system, the interview ends right in the middle since the manger says something like: "Work more on your design skills and we will consider you later". The interviewer was very impatient and lacks communication skills. I don't think they give any respect to the candidate's time and effort, avoid if you have another opportunity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
common BQs, strengths and weaknesses
coding, system design
- behavior
- coding assessment
- two rounds of technical
- two behavior
I think the process is really long and it takes a long time to process all rounds. But the feedback for each round is really fast.

Question 1
They are asking about my past experience, why interested in joining c3ai. I think they really values a lot about whether you are fit with the company's culture.
