I had a casual half-hour chat with a team manager. After that, there was a 2-hour technical interview where four interviewers asked me several questions. This happened after I gave a presentation on my research and course projects related to the role.

Behavioral Technical

My first interview was non-technical and lasted 30 minutes. Then there was a second round which was technical. The interviewers were super nice and professional, but I didn't prepare enough for it. The questions they asked were good and not too difficult; they covered programming and physical meaning concepts, and were very professional.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you tell me a bit about yourself?
