The interview process started with me recording and submitting five S.T.A.R. behavior questions and two very easy coding challenges in a language of my choice.

A week later, I had a phone screening with a manager where we discussed my resume and broad details about the position (pay range and location).

A week beyond that, I had two one-hour video interviews with the local management in my selected city.

During the interview, I was asked more HR behavior S.T.A.R. questions by those managers. It seemed like they are really just a vehicle for more HR questions.

Both interviewers seemed preoccupied with sticking to a script and recording my answers (be careful with deviating from your S.T.A.R. method practice or posting those questions).

During that interview, I was given an explicit deadline of 1-2 weeks to hear back but didn't.

I'm not sure if this is a byproduct of:

• A company slowdown due to the chip shortage
• Me/company waiting on "better" candidates to make their decisions
• Other priorities
• A lack of organization on their part

A manager told me he had a lot of spots to fill, and I've read articles saying the company is expected to make significant hires by the start of Q2 (April 1), so things may not be a lost cause, but who knows.

Typical star question(s) that you can find on Glassdoor.
