Candidate-reported interview process

The interview questions were mainly generic questions like why are you interested in this position and the company and things like that so it was short and comfortable. They ask you to take a coding test depending what position you apply for.

I was emailed to schedule a 20-minute phone call. During the interview, they asked about my previous experiences and inquired about instances where I successfully navigated and conquered challenging objectives.

I got a hackerrank coding test that had mostly algorithms, even though I applied for a mostly embedded role. They first said they'd move me forward, but I never heard back. After I emailed again, I got an official denial.
