More program management than product engineering
More program management than product engineering
There is the potential for exposure to a variety of technologies. Projects go very quickly, so the core skills revolve more around program management, augmented by testing/troubleshooting the specific technology in use.
There is no real design done; this is done by the OEM/ODM. The net is that light touch means there is very little control over the design of the product.
With the company being driven by marketing, more should be done to provide a cohesive product portfolio. Duplicating products that competitors have is not a real marketing strategy.

The process is different for everyone. Most people only have behavioral interviews, which are very easy to pass. However, my interviewer was rapid-firing extremely hard technical questions, so be prepared for either.

Very easy interview. It was 2 hours long and consisted mostly of CS trivia and system design, along with "what-if" scenarios. Behavioral questions were typical. I did hear that it depends on the hiring managers you get, so be prepared to do LeetCode

Recruiter screening, 30-minute call, then HackerRank OA, and then a final panel 45-minute interview that was completely behavioral. Lax questions for both screening and final. I think they were really looking for culture fit.
