So there was this one 30-minute interview and then a 1-hour coding interview. They mostly asked stuff from my resume, then a few technical questions, mainly about array handling and memory management. The role was for comms, so like UART, GNSS, and cellular systems, so I made sure to know that stuff.

HR screening with no idea after that, no information was provided on that. I was rejected after screening call itself. The HR was confident about my profile but when sent to hiring manager for screening they rejected it since international candidate logistics come into play although HR confirmed they will provide sponsorship.
