January 1, 2024
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Recruiter, then Hiring Manager, followed by a panel, then two additional interviewers to test my Python skills and assess my data interpretation abilities in generating dashboard plots.
Time was wasted in preparation with the additional interviewers even after being selected by the panel.
The recruiter's language when providing me the offer was confusing.
Questions
- Battery functional checks on the production line.
- How did you work on Python?
- How is the tradeoff between line balancing and quality performed?
