Behavioral Technical Presentation
The whole thing was done in a single day. I had a bunch of short, 15-minute chats with different managers and lead engineers, mostly from the team I was applying to. They also showed me around the facility for a bit, usually the division manager doing the showing. The lead engineers mostly just asked about my past work, but the managers went deeper into situation-based questions.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Given a general overview of a recent project, how would you have tackled the entire effort? What actions would you have performed and what was the reasoning behind them?
