Behavioral Technical

I first had a phone interview with an HR person. Then, a week later, I got invited for an on-site interview. They told me I was up against three other people. A week after that first on-site interview, I was invited for a second interview. The phone interview was mainly about my work ethic, personality, and resume. Both on-site interviews were super deep, like I was glad I studied. They asked a lot about six sigma, RF signals, and general failure analysis.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • What are the challenges and benefits of aiming for six sigma production levels?
  • How significant is six sigma?
  • Why would it be acceptable to aim for only 4 or 3 sigma levels?

I only went through the initial recruiter interview. I didn't get to interview further because the recruiter ghosted me. It's been over a month, and it's clear the recruiter didn't even bother to send a basic rejection email.
