The entire process took about 2 months, and I reached the final stage. They rescheduled interviews multiple times. I never heard back from the recruiter. There wasn't really a screening call; they just sent me an email with questions to answer.

Technical Behavioral
I had a really bad experience with this company. The recruiter had a super thick accent and it was hard to understand them. They contacted me in the morning and asked if I could interview that afternoon on the SAME DAY, which is crazy. They set up another interview for the next day, and the engineer who interviewed me was really aggressive, like an interrogation for 45 minutes. Instead of asking normal questions about my experience, they asked really weird, specific things. It felt like they wanted a human encyclopedia, not an engineer. Plus, the interviewer was condescending, rude, and clearly wasn't listening to my answers.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was a bit drawn out, but overall I felt the interviews went well. The questions asked were relevant to the subject matter and of an academic nature. There were two rounds, one technical and one managerial. The technical interviewer was clearly knowledgeable in their field. The managerial interview also went smoothly. However, the salary they offered was quite low. It would have been better if they had been upfront about the salary expectations from the start.

The interview process was very straightforward and easy. They mentioned that training would be provided upon hiring. There was only one technical interview, though not many technical questions were actually asked. The interviewer was quite pleasant and understanding. The onboarding phase did take a bit longer than anticipated, but aside from that, it was a generally simple and swift process.
