Technical Coding
Had a quick video call that lasted about half an hour, the interviewer was really down to earth. After that, I got to move on to the next step, which involved building a really cool mobile app to show off my skills. This took me about 4-5 hours of my own time, unpaid. About a week after submitting it, I got an email saying the position was no longer available. I didn't get any feedback on the app I built, which was a bummer. Honestly, the interview process itself was pretty good, and the requirements were clear. The app I had to build was super unique compared to what other places usually ask for. I just wish I'd gotten some personalized feedback or a call instead of that generic email.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I first had a phone interview with an engineer. Then, I went for an on-site interview which consisted of 5 separate interviews. The first three were focused on assessing my personality and cultural fit. The final two interviews were technical, involving coding problems and questions about circuit components. Although I received a job offer, it was rescinded a week later after I had shown my enthusiasm and we were discussing start dates. I never got a formal written explanation, but I was told it was due to a hiring budget miscommunication between the CTO and their supervisor, not related to my interview or negotiations. This experience left me very unhappy with their unprofessional behavior and lack of a proper explanation.

Behavioral Technical
I had a really quick and friendly chat with HR, then with the business team lead, and finally with the company owner. It's a good setup if you're just starting out and don't have much experience in the area you're aiming for. They're really open to giving people a shot and a chance to learn, rather than expecting you to hit the ground running immediately. The questions they asked mostly touched on what I had on my CV and in past jobs, and why I was keen on joining them.

Behavioral Technical
Had a 30 min chat with someone from the UX team that went well. The main problem was the trial project they sent over. They said to spend no more than 4 hours on it, but it was clear from the description that it would take way more time than that to produce something decent. My guess is they did this to see who would go the extra mile, which I thought was a bit sneaky and a lot to ask.
