The interview process involved:

• Recruiter prescreening
• 4-hour assessment
• Technical calls

The recruiter call took around 30 minutes, the 4-hour assessment took 2 hours, and the technical calls were 45 minutes each.

The assessment was a satellite coding challenge regarding making connections between satellites and users, using Python or C++. I saw another post on here better describing the assessment in detail.

The technical calls both started by asking about a project you worked on. The first got more into details, asking to "describe as if you were onboarding this to someone new." The second was more about "what would you have done differently?"

Later, they asked technical questions regarding topics taught in college (be prepared to brush up on old notes), but which were not as practical in my career. Questions included:

• What is a linked list?
• What is a page fault?
• What is the difference between threads vs. processes?
• How do processes communicate?
• Are there issues with threading in Python?
• What is the difference between TCP and UDP?
