Technical Presentation
The interview process was pretty straightforward. It started with a short phone call, then I had a technical interview with the manager. He was a really friendly and enthusiastic guy. I basically showed a couple of slides about what I know for the role, and he asked me a few straightforward technical questions about powertrains.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral
First, a recruiter called to chat about your background, if you're a good fit, and what you're looking for salary-wise. Then there was a technical screen, which was one round of coding and some core Java stuff. After that, there were 3 more technical rounds where you did coding challenges, talked about Java fundamentals, and discussed system/architecture. Finally, there was an onsite round with the team and hiring manager for behavioral and technical deep dives.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was pretty fast and okay. It was a bit weird that even though the role is Senior, I only spoke with what seemed like Junior developers. Maybe they weren't officially Junior, but it was obvious from their limited experience and lack of 'why.' One of them actually thought Scrum Master was a technical role, which surprised me and I pointed it out. The onsite interview was supposed to go until 4:45pm, but I'd told the recruiter days before I had to leave by 4:30pm for another interview. The team lead at BMW apparently knew, but didn't tell the developers. When 4:30pm came, I told the developers I had to go, and they seemed surprised. I also mentioned to the BMW team that I was looking at other full-time roles since this was a contract. For some reason, they didn't like hearing that. Maybe if they wanted me to be interested, they should make the offer more appealing and hire full-time instead of contract. Honestly, I wasn't impressed and expected more from BMW Solutions. Oh well.
