I applied to several positions online. A recruiter reached out several weeks later about a different position. The positions listed online were unrelated to what they were actually hiring for.

I spoke with the recruiter on the phone, took an at-home technical test several days later, and had a phone interview with an engineer the next week. The next step would have been an on-site interview, but at this point, I was ghosted.

I fumbled some basic questions in the phone interview, so I understand why they wouldn't want to hire me, but it was disappointing to be ghosted.

Overall, the workplace vibes seemed very bro-y, not particularly smart, and unprofessional. 0/10, would not recommend.

Technical Test:

Toy Starlink Beam Planner Problem: Find a maximum coverage pairing of satellites and users given some constraints on the angle of each beam, the number of users each satellite can connect with, etc. This is actually a pretty good interview question: you can use the language of your choice and have up to 4 hours to complete it.

Phone Interview:

• What's a project you have worked on?
• How did you make decisions in a team?
• What's an interesting bug you found and how did you fix it?
• What does a linked list look like in memory?
