Technical Behavioral
It was a 2-hour interview with both technical and usual competency questions. The interviewers were the head of HR and the head of Engineering. Questions were based on my CV. Some questions were unexpected because they didn't quite match the job description, but overall it wasn't too hard. There was a bit of confusion because one interviewer would interrupt the other, and so on.
Confirmed questions1 question
- I was shown an engineering drawing and asked to explain what it was, which would have been easier to prepare for if the job description had been clearer.
