The interview process was fair, mostly technical with some very basic preliminary questions and concluding with some more in depth/advanced technical questions. It started off friendly and they had me explain a few technical aspects about the projects on my resume.

Technical
After completing the technical interview process, there was no reply from the HR. I think it's unprofessional to not inform applicants about their status instead of making them wait. At least the applicant would know their time, effort and money was not wasted.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and then a recruiter reached out for an initial chat. Next, I had an interview with the hiring manager where we talked about my background and some basic circuit design stuff. A bit later, I had another round with three engineers on the team, and it was pretty similar to the hiring manager interview. The whole thing took about 3 weeks.
