I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Shield AI
Interview
Recruiter call, then a Hiring Manager conversation (discussed technical topics, experience, etc), then a technical interview with team members (discussed technical topic questions, find a bug, then a leetcode style question)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shield AI (Frisco, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
Super outdate interview model. The recruiter is usually non responsive, the process was disorganized and slow. Surprisingly slow for a company that claims to go fast. Presentation part seems outdated. Most engineers I talked to didn’t really know what they were doing. Some interviewers were friendly, others disorganized and lack an understanding of software engineering but pretended to understand it all. I would not recommend.
I applied online. I interviewed at Shield AI in Nov 2025
Interview
I got to the third round of interviews. Specifically, I got to a coding interview. My experience was great up until that point. The recruiter and hiring manager genuinely seemed interested in me and my skills and were very open about the position. The coding interview is where it fell apart. The interviewer showed up 25 minutes late to the scheduled time and seemingly came up with questions on the spot. The interviewer did not have a clear direction and when I asked questions, he only made the whole thing more confusing.
