I applied online. I interviewed at Prelude (Colorado Springs, CO) in Jun 2026
Interview
4-8 hour takehome exercise. No directions other than "build something that solves a real problem in your life". If they like your submission, you get an interview where they review your submission with you, ask you some questions about it, and have you demo it. Beyond that, some general behavioral questions/questions about your working style/how you use AI. 48 hours later, rejection email with no feedback given.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How has AI changed the way you work in the last year or two?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Prelude (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
I applied for the position and the recruiter scheduled a screening I guess based on my resume.
The recruiter scheduled the interview on google calendar and the call on zoom
(Although according to the recruiter the company product is live and the product is supposed to be interview scheduling)
It was the shortest interview preceded by two reminders.
I am just irritated because of the time wasted, she simply could have emailed me those questions.
And again they are building Prelude #1 InterviewScheduling
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Prelude
Interview
The CEO found my profile and reached out personally. Later, had a technical interview with another person. It wasn’t even LeetCode medium and I solved everything really. I guess he had a personal problem with me or something because they didn’t proceed. But I’m really glad because I have a FANG final round locked up now! Know your worth!
