Candidate-reported interview process

It was a good interview experience. The process involved a telephonic round, a technical interview, a group interview, and a tool test. The interviewer asked mostly technical questions and about the projects I worked on. The interviewer even taught me a few technical things.

The interview process started with a tool test where we had to do component meshing using hypermesh. This was the first round and was super important; if you did well here, you likely got the job. Next, there was a technical round, and the last one was an HR round. Overall it was a great experience because I got the job!

Had a telephonic discussion. It was for a customer of Altair, whose core business is automobile and software development. The people who interviewed were really knowledgeable and the discussion was meaningful, so take time to prepare for the interview.
