Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through their webpage. Within a week, I received their questionnaire about my skills and potential interview topics. I didn't expect to hear back from HR, but it turns out I was lucky. After approximately three weeks of submitting the questionnaire, an interview was scheduled via a one-hour Google Hangout. The email included an attachment detailing what they would be looking for during the interview and a list of expected topics.

The interviewer called on time and shared a Google Doc, focusing directly on technical questions. The interviewer was very patient, and the call lasted exactly one hour. Within two days, I received a call from HR, who had scheduled my interview, informing me that they were moving forward without me.

Questions

Basic electronics questions and a few from my skillset, and a behavioral question.
