Behavioral Technical Coding

It was a 3 round phone interview process. First with HR, then the hiring manager, and finally coworkers. The first was a quick intro to see if I was a fit. The hiring manager was 20 min late and also asked about my background. The last interview was a tough visual quiz over the phone. They also asked a lot of physics questions, like about final velocity and momentum.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Could you explain stress locations using free body diagrams?
  • Could you explain the physics behind final velocity and momentum equations?
