Coding System Design Behavioral
Started with a recruiter screen. Then there were 2 coding interviews. After that, I had onsite rounds. The onsite included another coding question, then a system design question, and finally a HM behavioral interview. The system design part felt simpler compared to other companies I've interviewed with. The coding questions were pretty standard, like Leetcode.
Confirmed questions5 questions

Coding Technical Behavioral Presentation
I interviewed with Decagon.ai a few weeks ago, and overall, it was a really poor candidate experience. The questions were pretty easy but the company seems to be run by a bunch of inexperienced people who don’t really know what they’re doing. The recruiters didn’t seem to understand how to design an interview process, so they just kept adding more interviews without a clear purpose. In total, I completed eight interviews and two of them after the onsite. They kept assuring me that each one would be the last, only to schedule another. It was not only a waste of their engineers’ time but also an incredibly bad experience as a candidate. My onsite lasted over five hours, starting in the morning, and they didn’t even bother to ask if I needed food. Overall, it was not a great experience, and I wouldn't recommend it to others, unless you’re just looking to use them for interview practice.

Behavioral Technical
It's pretty standard and straightforward, with 4 stages. First, there's a recruiter screen, which is usually a standard get-to-know-you call. Then, an assessment call with the hiring manager, followed by a call with the CEO. After that, you get an offer letter. They also check in with referrals and start onboarding.

Case Behavioral Presentation
It started with an HR screen, then a hiring manager screen. After that, I got a take-home case study where I had to do weekly prioritization and build AI agents. Then there was a review of the take-home, and I had to walk through it. The final stage was an onsite round with tech, executive, prioritization, and behavioral interviews. Everything was conversational, no whiteboarding or writing. A lot of questions were about how I'd handle ambiguity or tough client situations.
Confirmed questions3 questions

- Tell me about a time you dealt with ambiguity.
- Can you share an experience of dealing with a challenging client?
