February 1, 2025
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  • 30 min recruiter screen, asking general questions about resume and experience.
  • 4 hour take-home coding assessment, satellite beams.
  • 45 min technical/experience discussion, where you pick one project from your resume and explain it in detail. They ask questions such as, "What would you have done differently?" and "How did you collaborate?". Then, you get the chance to ask them questions.

Should have picked a more relevant project for the role, as the recruiter did not ask me any technical questions. Did not make it past this round.

Questions

What would you have done differently on this project if you had the chance to do it again?
