To make this possible and to ensure fairness for all our candidates, we have a no-exceptions policy on AI usage and augmentation during interviews.

We want to get to know you, your experiences, and qualifications genuinely and directly and the best way to do this is to keep it just between us.

To keep the interview fair for all, we reserve the right to ask follow-up questions or request you to clarify or elaborate on your solutions without the aid of external tools to validate that the answers provided genuinely reflect your own skills and experience. Violation of this code of conduct will result in the immediate termination of your candidacy.
