Candidate-reported interview process

Had a chill chat with an engineer from the team. Scheduling was a breeze and we had a nice talk. It kicked off with some company info and then straight into technical questions for about half an hour.

I had a meeting with a team member, and then the hiring manager (tech lead) who did a whiteboard interview as the first round. Then there was a second round with a resume review and technical questions.

The interview had a lot of questions about cantilevers, natural frequency, and bracket design. They wanted me to derive the equations and build a bracket myself, which was tough to do on a whiteboard in 3D.
