The interview process starts with an HR call remotely. The second step is an interview with the discipline manager and the relevant manager. The manager and discipline lead are very approachable and good at explaining the role.

Il processo è iniziato con una telefonata e un colloquio tecnico. Il colloquio tecnico era abbastanza nella norma, niente di troppo difficile ma richiede comunque un po' di preparazione. La parte con l'HR comporta domande piuttosto inopportune sulla retribuzione precedente, ecc. classiche domande da vecchia azienda italiana che potrebbero mettere in difficoltà un candidato alle prime armi, il tutto ovviamente per massimizzare il profitto minimizzando i costi, una mossa classica delle aziende italiane ancora ferme agli anni '70. Ho ricevuto un'offerta ma ho rifiutato perché l'ambiente non mi è sembrato dei migliori.

Behavioral Technical
About a month after I applied, I had a Zoom interview with Leonardo. Two people interviewed me, a manager and a senior manager. They mentioned how only 8 out of 200 candidates made it to the interview stage. The interview itself was a bit strange because neither of them had their cameras on, making it feel a bit odd talking to a blank screen for an hour and a half. The questions covered my coursework and how it relates to the job, as well as my experience with MATLAB. I got an offer about a week later.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you tell me about your experience with MATLAB?
- How would you tailor your communication when speaking to management versus another engineer?
