It was an on-site interview, and it seemed like they weren't really prepared, almost like they forgot they had an interview scheduled. They were more focused on whether I'd fit into the company culture than my actual skills. Honestly, the whole company felt unprepared.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview was at Oakley HQ in FootHill Ranch, CA. First I had a phone screen with HR, then technical interview with manager and Director of the product development engineering group. I was called for onsite interview immediately. It's the most casual interview that I have ever attended. The interview schedule was from 11.30-3.30 pm. It included one by one interview, starting with HR and then different manager from different groups. The interview was fairly straightforward with STAR based technique. What I observed or understood from the interview process is they don't look for technical competency of the candidate, but instead they look how the candidate fits with the Oakley values and culture. Although the pay was less as compared to my present job and location, I really wanted to work at Oakley, as I really liked the job profile and the people I interviewed with at Oakley. But eventually, they closed the position without hiring anyone due to budget cuts.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process at Oakley is pretty cool. They require an onsite interview, and it's important to dress casually, otherwise, you'll be overdressed. The first round was a phone interview. The second round was an onsite whiteboard interview, which consisted of three 30-minute phases all on the same day. Then there was a background check.
