EgyptPosted May 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced Micro1’s AI interview as a heavily proctored, AI-controlled screen for a Software Engineer role, with a generally average difficulty but recurring interruptions.

AI recruiter interview (proctored) — The AI interview ran with camera/mic/screen capture. I started on frontend topics like HTML/CSS and then moved to JavaScript/React-style questions, but the AI could interrupt me or misinterpret my actions (like what I was doing on my screen).
Coding exercise — I finished with a separate coding task as part of the same AI-driven flow.

Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer; the takeaway is that the proctoring/AI interaction style can become distracting enough to hurt performance.
