Technical Behavioral
I chatted with the hiring manager about my background, which was pretty straightforward. Then, I had a 3-hour onsite interview. I met with six people in total: the manager, engineers from different teams, the person I'd be working with, and the director. Each meeting was 30 minutes long. They asked a mix of technical and behavioral questions. After that, I sent two follow-up emails. The first got a reply saying they were still interviewing and needed more time. My second follow-up got no response, so I was ghosted.

So first they asked me to talk about myself and what I've done on my resume. Then the interviewer chatted about the job and the company. After that, they asked about my coding language skills and then gave me a coding problem to solve, giving me a few minutes to write out the solution. Finally, they asked some more questions about electrical engineering basics.
