Short and fast: a recruiter screen, then '2-3 short technicals' (Cursor's own job-posting wording), then the signature round — an onsite in their office where you build a real project. CEO Michael Truell has said every engineering and design hire spends two days in-office working on a project: you get a desk, a laptop, a choice of three projects, and a frozen older copy of the real codebase with the dev environment set up, then present what you built. Crucially, first technical screens BAN AI beyond autocomplete ('programming without AI is still a really great time-boxed test for skill and intelligence' — Truell), while the onsite expects you to work with full tooling including Cursor itself. There is no formal behavioral round — the 4-6 meals with the team during the trial are the culture interview. Decisions come fast; the whole loop targets weeks, not months.
