Technical Presentation Behavioral
The interview process involved a screening interview, followed by an interview with the team lead or manager. Then there was a panel interview, which included a 30-minute technical presentation and 4-5 breakout room interviews, each lasting 45 minutes. Finally, there was an interview with the Director. It was a lengthy process with many technical questions. Fair and thorough.

Technical Presentation
I had phone screens with the recruiter who asked technical questions, then two more phone screens and a panel interview. The panel included a 15-minute candidate presentation. This was the hardest interview I've done, but I learned a lot. The team needs better standards. The panel was really smug and cocky. They were mocking my answers and texting during the interview. My interview started late by 5 minutes, which cut my presentation short to 10 minutes, and they cut me off. I was 5 minutes early, they should have some etiquette. Too many technical rounds, and it felt like they were trying to put me on the spot rather than gauge my thinking. They just kept digging in the more I answered correctly. Since it's an EV company, why are they asking about SI engines? The questions should be more relevant to the role.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
The interview process was good overall. The hiring manager was very friendly and explained the entire process. I had a presentation where I made a few mistakes, and one interviewer became very aggressive and degrading towards me. It was quite unpleasant, especially given my extensive experience in the industry where such behavior towards candidates is unacceptable.
