Interview was not at all what I expected from the job description.
Asked a lot of questions about OOP advantages that seemed related to embedded applications.
Was given a set of questions to answer in a limited time which felt a bit lazy compared to an actual coding challenge.
Never received a rejection, very poor experience.

The interview process was unreasonable. They delved deeply into questions about my work experience at companies where I had signed NDAs, showing no concern for the potential repercussions. Despite having significant experience in other relevant areas, including actual satellite work, they neglected to inquire about those aspects. Although they profess to hire individuals passionate about space technology and care about diversity, my experience and observations of their hiring practices suggest they seek a specific type of candidate that fits a narrow profile.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me what you did at Google, what code did you use, the features you built and how, what was their procedure for rolling out features?
