It was a 3 round interview process, and one of those rounds included technical questions. The people I talked to, from recruiters to engineers, were all really professional, friendly, and knew their stuff. The interview itself went well, just be ready for a lot of questions. It was a good experience overall.

Technical Behavioral
My interview process involved two rounds. The first round was virtual and focused on competencies. I interviewed in March and again in September. The March interview was a really positive experience with a great vibe from the hiring manager. However, the September interview felt different; they didn't seem eager to get to know me, and the atmosphere wasn't pleasant. The hiring manager seemed quite reserved. After that interview, I felt I wouldn't want to work for that person. Sadly, I didn't advance to the second, in-person/on-site round in either instance.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process started with an online 1-hour session. It included technical questions and product management-related questions. I felt the interviewer expected me to know all the sensor details, which seemed unreasonable given I was applying for the job. The interviewer mentioned that many candidates had already completed their second interviews and that I might be rejected due to applying late. While I'm not upset about not getting the job, the interviewer's attitude was unprofessional and rude, especially since they decided to interview me even with better-suited candidates already processed.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview process had 3 or 5 rounds, taking over 2 months and including a reference check. It wasn't as open as advertised, with poor diversity (mostly white males from German-speaking countries). I got rejected for unclear reasons, stating I misunderstood technology despite passing the technical interview, even though they said tech understanding wasn't that important initially. The first round was a 1-hour online technical interview with the department head and an engineer. The second round was a 1.5-hour on-site mix of interviews with HR, the department head, and engineers. The third round was on-site, starting with a 30-minute team meet-and-greet, followed by a 1-hour interview with HR, the department head, and an engineer, and concluding with a 1-hour interview with a CXO.
