May 15, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
- Call with hiring manager: understanding my background and overall fit
- Loop interview with the team members: technical questions about FEA/ML and some behavioral questions too
- Final behavioral interview with senior leaders of the organisation
Questions
Asked me about why explicit FEA is conditionally stable and implicit is unconditionally stable. Also asked me about the solving methods for the two.
