I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PwC
Interview
One HR intro interview, and two technical rounds. Mostly theoretical questions. Second technical round very wide regarding the tech stack. Taking too long in my opinion. They keep contacting past candidates after rejecting them.
Easy two rounds just describing my knowledge, no coding, then final interview with manager. Everything remote. The recruiter was very responsive. She contacted me on LinkedIn. Got an offer after 4 weeks
I did an introductory interview, online assessments, an interview with HR, and a case study involving coding. Apparently I failed the coding test which I thought made no sense due to the massive scope of the task and extremely limited amount of time given (and yes, I have previous relevant experience so I am qualified to say this). It was very strange in comparison to other AI Engineering interviews I have done, so I felt like they really wasted my time because I anyway had no chance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement a chatbot, but given the "client case" it could have been approached in so many different ways (basic SQL, vector search, etc) and they gave me something like 20 minutes to plan and then 25 minutes or so to code the whole thing. It made absolutely no sense.
