The first round involved an aptitude test. This had 15 questions on logical reasoning, basic math, and puzzles. Then there were 10-12 questions on core ECE fundamentals which were pretty simple. Finally, there were five programming questions that were MCQs where I had to pick the right output. The fourth round was a techno-managerial interview. We started with introductions. Then it was mostly about my resume, discussing my internships in detail - my roles, how I worked with the team, and my projects. We also covered OOPs concepts. They asked a lot of behavioral questions, like how I handle setbacks and manage projects without seniors. They also asked about my strengths for the role and any weaknesses.

Started with the hiring manager which went well. Then a cross-functional team interview where they weren't paying attention and asked repetitive or similar questions. My questions during Q&A were also not answered. The information provided across the three interviews (TA, HM, and Cross-team) was inconsistent, and there was a lack of clear requirements and alignment by the end. This suggests unprofessional behavior and miscommunication from the cross-functional team.

I applied because I was recruited via LinkedIn even though I didn't meet the listed requirements. I had two interviews before I was told I wouldn't be moving forward. They were looking for someone with experience as a proposal manager, people manager, transformation consultant, and mechanical engineer, which seemed like a lot for the salary range (~$120k). It sounded like a cool company though - small, agile, innovative. It was a good experience to see what the market is like right now.
