Product.ai interview questions

Initially had to fill up a questionnaire which they call it L1 Gauntlet that checks for mutual fit. After I cleared this, I was approached by a member for intro call, we discussed for 30 min about role, about the company and my interests and goals. It was a great session for sure and I was moved to second round which is L2- Diagnostic which had a take home problem to solve and demonstrate a walkthrough as well as a LOOM video explaining the design choices, they were really keen that we spend just 2-4 hours and not waste our valuable time more than that, which is rare and honest suggestion on their end. After I cleared this, I spoke to a team member again and basically discuss my architectural patterns, choices so on and the team member threw some edge cases and checked how my design would hold up with new edge cases. Once this round is done, I was told I am being moved to CEO round, had a beautiful conversation with CEO. We exchanged about companies future interests, what potential skillset I posses, what product did I build end to end so on.. After this, I was informed that they aren't moving right now with full time offer but would keep me within their radar for future roles. I am posting this because I see many negative reviews about their hiring systems, and generally how the CEO and team are but what I genuinely felt is they are just straight forward and they think deep in hiring for their team as they are low knit group who want each employees as partners which is great on their end to decide and choose. Personally I feel, people who wrote negative reviews about this company, can't handle the feedbacks or just think they are the best people.. Ofc every company would have their loopholes and hiring strategies which vary but these people are genuinely nicest.

My interview process wasn't that remarkable. I had a questionnaire, and in the next interview, they asked me how many babies are born in the US each day. I was not expecting that question for my type of role; it took me by surprise, made me uncomfortable, made me feel stupid, and I got really nervous. I didn't do well, and they ghosted me. However, the interview prep and material they sent me, some how opened up my mind to AI infraestructure and how it works, it really helped me in my carreer regardless.
