An applied AI Software Engineer interview: unclear live coding expectations

An applied AI·Software Engineer·Reported Jul 2026

The initial screening felt normal, but the technical interview did not. I was given LeetCode-style questions, and the interviewer's behavior made the situation tense.

They did not want to explain the question and expected a fully running solution while I was answering. That mismatch between the communication and the expectation put me under stress and did not feel supportive. I did not move forward. The lack of clarity in the technical round shaped my overall impression.

Location: O'Fallon, MO. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
