      Principal Engineer Interview

      12 May 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Frisco, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shield AI (Frisco, TX) in May 2026

      Interview

      The interview process was relatively quick, but not as fast as advertised or expected: 11 days between applying and first screening call, 7 days to hiring manager interview, 11 days to tech skills interview, 8 days to onsite interview, then 6 days to hear back (total ~6 weeks). The most difficult part of the interview process was prepping for the challenge on-site presentation, since it was one of those I could have spent multiple weeks on digging into the details, but the expectation was to only spend 4 hours (I definitely spent more than that). The only downside I felt to the interview process was that most of the on-site interview process was done via Teams (the interviewers were remote).

      Principal Engineer Interview

      28 Jul 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Shield AI (San Diego, CA) in May 2025

      Interview

      I believe this company do ghost jobs posting with ridiculously inflated compansation brackets to show that they are doing amazingly well. This is common practice in startups companies. Recruiters acted like they were excited about my experience and skills, but never responded after first screening, they don't even respond to emails after the first interview, after saying that to ask any questions. It's a scam.
