OpenAI Software Engineer interview experience

I went through an initial set of technical discussions and then a final round with four parts: the same kind of technical coverage plus a “present a system” exercise, and then a culture fit interview.

I had to chase my recruiter for an update about two weeks after the interviews, and the delay was because not all feedback had been collected. Another couple of weeks passed and I only heard indirectly through a “candidate experience survey” email that didn’t clarify anything. I never heard back directly from the recruiter after that,
