AI Interview Index

Which companies let you use AI in their coding interviews, which ban it, and which built the interview around it. Anyone can edit; every change is public and revertible.

Companion to The AI-Free Coding Interview Superstition on Scaling Knowledge.

38 of 38
AnthropicLive interviews are AI-free unless stated; some take-homes explicitly allow it.
Applied ComputeTwo 45-minute coding interviews with AI switched off in the IDE.
AutomatticNo whiteboard: a take-home with your own tools, then a paid trial.
CanvaAI tools are permitted in interviews, and you are expected to defend what they produced.
CognitionSelf-serve CoderPad assessment as step one, roughly 1-1.5 hours, no AI allowed.
CoinbaseRebuilt its questions after the old ones proved solvable with AI switched on.
CursorNo non-AI coding round in the loop.
DatadogLive coding is AI-free by default, but some roles get a designated AI-assisted round.
DigitalOceanReplaced the phone screen and algorithm onsite with a three-hour build using any AI.
GitLabThe handbook states plainly that AI use is encouraged in the interview process.
LonglakeOne round allows AI and a separate round does not, run as two different signals.
OpenAIAI is off by default in the interview, and permitted only where a specific round says otherwise.
OpenEvidenceOne-hour LeetCode-style coding interview after the recruiter call.
PostHogSplits the signal: a paid project day with AI, and a debugging round without it.
RampFull-stack coding screen plus graph algorithm and HTTP questions. No AI.
RogoNo round in the engineering loop lets candidates use AI.
SierraReplaced coding and algorithm rounds with an AI-native onsite.
WarpOne hour building a real feature, with any agent fair game.
ZapierAn AI-fluency bar applies at every stage, from application to executive interview.
AngelListCandidates work in a real codebase and ship a pull request.
ArcaNo traditional coding interview: paid contracting, then a work trial, then an offer.
AugustusThe default screen is a 1h remote pair-programming round in TypeScript, algorithmic, with no AI.
CerebrasAI use is expected rather than tolerated.
ConvexKeeps AI out deliberately: interviews should measure thinking, not simulate the job.
CrosbyTwo coding rounds the same day: one with AI switched off, one AI-assisted.
Hanover ParkIssue triage on a real codebase under time pressure, salted with issues that are not real.
OmneaPair programming on a realistic problem, with any AI tooling allowed and none required.
PaceLeetCode-style screen. No AI assistance.
PoeticA 45-minute practical programming problem, explicitly not algorithmic, in any language.
SendbirdAI is prohibited by default in technical assessments.
SonarPublished per-round rules: AI is banned in some rounds and expected in others.
WrikeSplit by design: a whiteboard round with no AI, then implementation with any AI.
Kogan.comAsks candidates to bring Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot to the interview.
MiraklAI is prohibited by default in technical assessments.
OpenAIAI is off by default in the interview, and permitted only where a specific round says otherwise.
PlasmidsaurusA one-hour realistic build where AI, Google and pairing are all encouraged.
QualifiedCandidates get an agent and a real system, and use AI however they see fit.
SageOxNo technical interviews. Candidates do a three to five day in-person work trial.
