Entretien
I applied online and received a screening call from HR. Next round was a 30 minute call with the hiring manager. Final round was a 3 hour interview where I met with 6 different members of the engineering team for 30 minutes each. I had the opportunity to show a project I worked on, learn about the team, and ask some questions. HR and the hiring manager were very transparent, efficient, and communicative throughout the hiring process.

Entretien
The interviewers were very nice and asked very personalized questions from my resume. It was a lot less technical than other interviews I had and seemed more like a conversation about my background than a full on interview.

Four rounds of interviews. First, initial phone screen with recruiter. Then, two separate interviews 1:1 with hiring manager and another manager in R&D. Lastly, a panel interview with 5-6 other members of R&D.

Question 1
I don't remember any specifics, but nearly every manager asked me to describe my experiences, then honed in on specific projects or roles to ensure that I had an excellent technical understanding of what I was working on. Overall, pretty laid back.

Entretien
Screening phone call, then a call with the hiring manager, lastly a panel interview with several key stakeholders. All of these were virtual. They responded fairly quickly to my initial application.

Question 1
During the panel interview, it seemed like everyone came up with their own questions, so there were a lot of variants of “deep dive into one of your previous projects for me”.
