Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts
Process
The process started with an automated video screen featuring five predetermined behavioral questions. You submit a video response for each, lasting about 30 seconds.
After successfully completing this, I received a HackerRank challenge with four sections. We were to choose two programming languages; they suggested MATLAB/Python and Java/C. The challenge included close to 20 questions: two or three required coding, and the rest were multiple-choice. The total time allowed was 60 minutes.
After two weeks with no response, I emailed them asking if there was another round. They immediately arranged a phone screen with a live HackerRank interface.
The interviewer on the phone screen was quite transactional. He stated directly that he wouldn't provide feedback at that moment. He asked an array of questions spanning Signal Processing, Probability, Calculus, and more.
