The interview process was not challenging in terms of the questions and format. It was informal and conversational and I appreciated the lack of rigidity. That said, the number of interviews and repeat interviews with the same person was excessive and undoubtedly would have been frustrating if it did not result in an offer.

Technical Coding
So, the task was to set up serial communication between an Arduino UNO and a NodeMCU. We were given code to send the digits of a PIN code, 781039, from the Arduino to the NodeMCU. The Arduino program needed to grab each digit and send them one by one. Then, the NodeMCU program had to receive these digits, add them all up, and show the final sum on its serial monitor. We had to fill in the blanks in both the Arduino and NodeMCU code. This was part of the whole interview process.

The interview process was pretty straightforward, though I didn't perform as well as I'd hoped on the coding challenges, which unfortunately prevented me from getting an offer. Despite that, the people I interacted with were all very friendly, and the whole experience moved along quite quickly.

Behavioral Technical
The hiring manager was friendly. But I feel that there is a huge contrast between TA's qualifying before arranging for the interview. The hiring manager already determined that I am not seasoned enough for the role once she joined the call, and there is no point for me to continue to share about my experience. I think TA should spend more time and effort to qualify the prospects before sending candidates up, and probably hiring manager need to communicate clearer with what they are expecting from this role with the TA to avoid wasting both interviewer and candidates' time.
