Process
The screening call went well. Then I was invited to a technical interview, which went well up until both interviewers decided to focus on a mathematical solution for a case study. The issue was that there was not enough detail provided about the scenario. When I pressed for more information during the interview, they gave very little, and I had no choice but to start making assumptions. For the sake of everyone's time, if you are going to do a live case study, please either prepare more detail or be prepared for disappointment. This strikes me as an unprofessional way to assess a candidate.
Questions
They asked a few generic engineering questions, but focused mostly on a case-study scenario.
