I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sully.ai in Nov 2025
Interview
30 minutes professional and friendly recruiter call followed by a 60 minutes video monitored take home. I withdrew when I signed into the take home coderpad and was made aware it was video monitored. If the company wants to observe problem-solving in real time, they can schedule live coding interviews allowing me to interact with an employee and ask questions. If they want to evaluate independent work, a traditional take-home provides that flexibility and I'd be happy to discuss the work live with an engineer after the fact. Monitoring candidates during a take home as the second step of the interview screams organizational mistrust and willingness to overstep boundaries. I also withdrew because they only have 1 female employee on a team of 40.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sully.ai in Nov 2025
Interview
After going through six rounds of interviews over an entire month, Sully.ai informed me only at the final stage that I would be required to work as a contractor for 60 days with zero support — no visa, no benefits, no holidays, nothing.
On top of that, they made it clear that these 60 days are essentially a trial period where they will “test me in and out,” with no guarantee of a full-time job afterward.
This is an extremely unprofessional hiring practice.
My strongest possible advice: avoid interviewing with Sully.ai. It is a complete waste of time.
