I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CodeSignal in Jun 2026
Interview
The process started off great! A recruiter reached out, and we had a great conversation, following which he sent me along to the hiring manager, who was eager to connect once I completed an AI assessment. Some of the first things requested were age, photo ID, and a photo of you with your ID. Then you were required to share your entire computer screen for the process, opening up all kinds of personal security concerns. I removed myself from consideration at this point and politely explained the concerns with the legality of it (it's 100% NOT legal to ask age, ID, etc in California. Considering the role has been open since February, I agree with what other posters have said; this seems like a method for training an AI model and not an actual job to be filled.

Question 1
Tell me about how you have managed projects with competing deadlines.
Engaging and virtual. Talent Acquisition was very efficient. Communication very effective. Overall a streamlined process that I would recommend. Multiple interview rounds with different teams, which was interesting. Not many canned questions, mostly it was related to the role and my specific background.
