Candidate-reported interview process

It was a hybrid interview, with one person in person and two others joining online via Teams. It wasn't the best experience because the interviewers didn't seem very focused or engaged.

The interview has 2 parts. First, upon arrival, you take a personality test and a logic test, 50 questions each, with a 1-hour time limit total. The logic questions were tough, with a case scenario and multiple-choice answers; I only finished 20. Second, it's a face-to-face interview where they ask about your research experience, past projects, PhD plans, and career goals.

First, I had a 1-hour session for Common sense Logic Inference questions. Then, I had a 1-hour interview with engineers and directors where they primarily asked about my resume projects. Following that, they asked other questions about my career plan and my understanding of the job.
