I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Abnormal AI in Apr 2026
Interview
Process was recruiter call, hiring manager screen, tech round, and virtual onsite. Hiring manager asked about previous experiences and what you learned from them. Was able to use AI tools for tech rounds and virtual onsite which was helpful. Interviewers were responsive and accommodating throughout should you have scheduling conflicts
I was given a take-home assignment with a completion time of 24 hrs. It was about building a file storage vault. AI tools were allowed, but they did not provide any. I had to buy my own.
Expectation was also there to record a video on how I used AI tools to develop the task.
They rejected me without giving any feedback. Very bad experience
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Abnormal AI in Apr 2026
Interview
Wasted my time interviewing here; the AI coding round is stupid.
The interviewer was constantly nudging me to keep speaking. It was so hard to understand how they want me to use an AI agent to code that relatively easy problem. I was constantly fighting with the auto-complete of cursor and couldn't focus on the problem. I would rather have done it without the AI constantly trying to erase my implementation.
Absolute waste of time and my confidence. Nothing but template rejection at the end.
