Plaud.AI Backend Engineer Interview Experience
Summary
I went through an initial screen followed by two rounds: a system design round and a coding + behavioral round. I received an offer.
Full Experience
I applied using LinkedIn and the recruiter reached out to me via email.
I scheduled the initial screen with her. Later there were 2 rounds. The first one was a system design (1 hour), and the second one was a mix of behavioral questions for 10–15 minutes post introductions, along with a coding question to be solved within 35 minutes.
I got the offer.
