The interview started with a 30-minute phone screen that had quick technical questions, nothing too deep. Then there were two one-hour interviews that went deeper into technical topics. These included some simple coding problems and creating UML diagrams. The interviewers were friendly and made me feel well-supported throughout.

Behavioral
My interview experience with General Dynamics Mission Systems was not great and not what I expected from a big defense company. It started okay, but then communication became inconsistent and frustrating. I was given timelines for next steps and updates, but those dates passed with no follow-up. I contacted the recruiter and hiring manager multiple times politely, but never heard back. For a company that talks about structure, process, and accountability, the lack of basic communication was surprising and unprofessional. It makes candidates feel disregarded and undervalued, especially after putting in time and effort into interviews and paperwork. If GDMS wants to keep a good reputation, they need to improve the candidate experience, follow through on their promises, and treat applicants with respect.

Technical Coding
The interview experience was really professional and went smoothly. Even though I didn't get the job, they recommended me for other roles. The interviewer was good at finding programmers who could really problem-solve and see potential issues. The question itself wasn't super hard or tricky, just needed some careful thinking. The important part was the thought process and how I asked questions.
Confirmed questions1 question
- The question involved a calculation related to geometry, and it was designed to test careful thinking and the ability to clarify.

Had 3 interviews: a 30 min phone screen with the hiring manager, a 1 hr panel interview with current ELPs and 2 managers, and a 30 min panel interview with the director of engineering and a high level manager. The 1 hr panel was super technical, but the other two were focused on behavior and leadership.
