Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview started with a 30-minute phone screen where we discussed the role and my background. This was followed by a 1-hour technical interview, split into 30 minutes of coding and 30 minutes of a Right/Wrong Question and Answer session. Finally, I had a 1-hour meeting with C-suite executives to talk about my past experience. It was pretty wild; the software engineer didn't even know what IoT was, and Zhongjing Yao was super by-the-book with his answers. He was also distracted during coding, typing on Slack. After all that, they just ghosted me.

After that, there was a 25-minute interview that included technical questions and HR, mostly focusing on my resume. We also had a casual chat about the recent technological boom, its pros and cons. Finally, they asked about the company and why they should hire me.
