The recruiter for this Product Support Engineer, Port & Terminal Eq position was unresponsive about my interview process. I had a 30-minute phone screen, and then they ghosted me. I sent emails to follow up, but got no response. I don't care if I get the job, but not responding is the worst.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was super chill. The hiring managers asked technical questions in a way that was easy to relate to your life experiences or school work. It helped when I mentioned that a job in a formula team would be my dream job and one hiring manager got a big grin because he was an F1 fanatic.

Coding Technical Behavioral Behavioral
The interview process has four rounds. First round is a technical coding round on codility. Three problems statements were given and have to get above 60% to get on to the next round. The problems were mostly on Data Structures and Algorithms. The second round is a technical round, where I have been asked various questions on OOPS concept and also discussed on the problem statement from the coding round. The third round is Client's round, and to be fair it is the easiest round. I was interviewed about how will I solve a problem, how will I estimate a timeline and how will I work as a team. Final round is HR round, which is surprisingly little difficult, I was asked many questions and the questions might repeat again, I should not give two different answers for the same questions. The entire process took 2-3 weeks and finally I received my Offer Letter.
