The interview was about an hour long and involved basic questions about you and some general interview questions. There were no technical questions asked. It might seem a bit dry since you'll be talking to an engineer, not someone from HR.

Behavioral Technical
MKA's recruiter reached out to me. They convinced me to interview based on a good sounding salary. I went through three interviews, including a 3-hour interview with at least 4 team members. The interviews were good, very conversational, never felt like I was being tested. Everyone that I spoke to seemed great. Ultimately the offer they gave me was FAR below what I was told in the initial screening interview, and their offered PTO was equal to an entry level engineer. They refused to negotiate on salary, vacation time, nothing. After turning them down once they offered to bump the salary by $3k, but still refused to budge on PTO. I have NEVER in my career dealt with a private company that refuses to negotiate with a candidate. If they had been honest about their salary expectations in the first place, I would not have invested the time to interview with them.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved a senior engineer who led most of it. It started with a review of my education and work experience. Then, another senior engineer joined to ask some technical questions. We also took a tour of the office, and the interview wrapped up with a lunch outing. Overall, MKA seemed like a great company with a good vibe. The interview process felt a bit drawn out, considering I applied in January and didn't get interviewed until May. I never got an offer because I had already accepted another position before they responded.

The interview was pretty chill and relaxed. They didn't ask any technical questions because MKA is pretty sure they can count on your great academic background (they only hire from certain accredited programs) and teach you the rest. The main thing they wanted to do was get to know you and see if you'd be a good fit for the office culture.
