I had a few interviews with the team. They asked me some questions about vehicles and also some math problems about distance and speed. The interviews weren't too tough and I felt pretty relaxed throughout the whole thing.

A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and sent some questions via email. About 3-4 days later, I got an email for an interview with the hiring manager scheduled for THE NEXT DAY. It would have been better if they scheduled it at least 2 days in advance for preparation. The interview itself was quite awkward. At the conclusion, the interviewer mentioned a response within a week, but I was ultimately ghosted with no further communication.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had two rounds of the same interview because there was such a long pause due to the pandemic. The first one focused more about my personality and history, and the second one focused more on problem solving. I was informed with some great pointers and encouragement from my recruiter, and the interview process went smoothly aside from the blank of the pandemic.
