Contacted by in-house recruiter based on LinkedIn profile. Emails to setup initial phone screen with the hiring manager. Then 2 more phone screens. Then in-house for 7 interviews (including a lunch interview). Plus a 30 minute technical presentation (I could pick the topic). In-house was handled in a single day. It was well structured.

3 months interview process, 6 interview rounds including a presentation round. The interview process at Real-Time Innovations was structured, professional, and overall a positive experience. It consisted of multiple stages, including an initial technical screening, followed by deeper technical interviews covering automotive systems, networking concepts, and a coding exercise. There were also behavioral and sales-fit discussions focusing on customer interaction, communication skills, and motivation for the FAE role. One round involved a technical presentation, where I was able to choose a topic related to my expertise. This was followed by detailed Q&A with a panel, assessing both technical depth and the ability to explain complex topics clearly. Throughout the process, the interviewers were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely interested in understanding my background. Communication from HR was prompt and transparent. Overall, the process strongly emphasizes problem-solving ability, system-level thinking, and the capability to bridge technical and customer-facing responsibilities. Before the offer referral check from 2 coworkers was also included in the process.
