After a back and forth with the recruiter, there were three Zoom interviews.

The first two were simple half-hour conversations, one with my potential future teammate and one with the Head of Flight Testing. They were fairly general, screening my basic technical knowledge, asking about my QA philosophy, and generally getting to know me. I was also given plenty of time to ask questions, and they were more than willing to talk about the company.

The third interview was much more in-depth. I was asked to prepare a 20-minute presentation that gave an overview of my background as well as a detailed analysis of a previous project that could showcase my technical skills. I gave this presentation (virtually) in front of a panel of employees from different areas of the company. This was followed by a 'gauntlet'-style interview - five half-hour interviews with different team members, including developers, product managers, UI/UX designers, and QA engineers.

The entire process was relatively smooth, and everyone I spoke to was helpful and friendly. Most importantly, they were willing to talk about Skydio, both the good and the bad, and explain why they enjoyed working there.

After the third interview, I was asked for references and permission to do a background check, and had an offer within a week. All in all, relatively quick and efficient.

Give a 20-minute presentation with an overview of your background, as well as a detailed analysis of a previous project that showcases your technical skills.
