Step 1: Call from a recruiter for an initial screening. Very straightforward.

Step 2: Call from a hiring manager that will last about 45-55 minutes. Discusses the role, asks some basic technical questions, and lets you ask any questions. Again, it seems very straightforward.

Step 3: Technical interview. Asks you technical questions about Simulink. Lasts about 55 minutes.

Step 4 (Presentation: on-site): This is the most difficult one. You will have to make a presentation about yourself and a case study related to Simulink. The manager and the recruiter will guide you and help you make the presentation.

During your presentation, you will get interrupted many times, which will throw you off your rhythm. Questions come in a rather passive-aggressive style. After the 45-minute presentation, you will go for lunch. The entire lunch is a full-on interview. They will ask you technical questions as you are walking to the restaurant and ordering food. The entire lunch is an interview. This part seemed kind of off, as you are eating food and they are asking you technical questions. They were even asking me questions as I was ordering food.

Mostly asks you questions about Simulink. You need to be an SME on that.

Before the interview, I informed them all that I'm not an SME on Simulink, but I have used it before and I can get up to speed in a given time.

I was told that I will have 4-5 months of ramping-up time.

After the interview, they realized that they needed an SME that can run with the ball right away.
