& Process

talked with the lead tech about my experience in AI. We went over my resume and talked about different AI techniques. We also talked about projects for this role and possible solutions.

So the interview process was like this: first a telephonic screening, then a second round online, and the third round was face-to-face with a panel. A negative point was that they told me I worked with small-scale organizations, and they're looking for someone who's worked with an MNC or mid-scale company. This makes me wonder, if someone works in a small org, does that mean they don't deserve a big company, and where should they go then?

So first I had a phone interview, then I went in for a second interview in person. I met with some managers and staff there. The whole thing was about 2.5 hours. Everyone was really nice though. HR called me first, then I did this timed IQ and personality test. After that, I met with two managers and a couple of people who would be my coworkers. If I had moved on, there would have been another in-person interview. It was between me and someone else who had more experience in the area I applied for. I didn't get the job in the end, but the process felt really thorough and it was pretty chill.

The interview process started with an initial phone call with the HR manager, who gave a basic rundown of the company and the role, and asked some general questions about my background and experience. HR seemed to lack specific knowledge about the position, making it difficult to get a clear picture of the available equipment and facilities. The second phone interview was also quite general, with the department hiring manager. The in-person interview was nearly 3 hours long. First, I met with the HR manager again to go over company details, the position, and what to expect in the interview. Then, I had to take a short, SAT-like exam (math, verbal, written, problem-solving) that lasted 10-20 minutes and seemed unrelated to the job, possibly just to gauge basic aptitude. After the test, I met with the department hiring manager for some basic questions about my background and experience. Following that, I met with the department VP, who also asked general questions about my background. It felt like a lot of repetition. Afterward, I got a tour of the warehouse to see the build process and the actual products. After the interviews, I was selected for a test photo shoot. I was tasked with shooting a new product and finding a suitable location around town. The hiring manager met me on a Saturday with the product, and we went to my chosen spot to set up and shoot. The shoot itself took about 2-3 hours, testing my ability to scout locations, handle the product carefully, stage it appropriately, capture various angles and details, and pack it back up. After the shoot, I submitted a contact sheet to the marketing team. They asked me to pick the 4-6 photos I thought best showcased the product and edit them. They also made their own selection of 4-6 photos. Overall, it was a very long and thorough interview process.
