I applied through an employee referral. The process took two weeks.

• Onsite interview: It began with a tour of the office and floor, providing a calm introduction and warmup.
• Presentation: I presented to the manager and several engineers on a topic of my choice related to the role. It's imperative that you understand your content in its entirety and can provide sufficient reasoning for engineering decisions.
• Technical 1:1: This followed and was a fair and effective whiteboard assessment.
• Cross-disciplinary interview: I met with an engineer from another discipline, and we had more of a casual interview about my experiences working with a team.
• Team lunch: I was taken out to lunch with a few members of the team, and this was a nice chance to learn more about the area and the company.
• Senior director interview: This followed and helped answer the question of whether my career interests aligned with Shield's.
• Closing conversation: The interview closed with a conversation with the manager to address any lingering questions.It was overall a very pleasant experience from recruitment to conclusion. The interview was challenging in that I was assessed for everything, but success is certainly achievable with honest, relevant experience.

Have you ever made a sacrifice for work? How did this impact you in retrospect?

Tell me about a time when you failed to deliver. How did this affect you, and what did you do to overcome it?
