Question 1
How would you design a 100 ft tall flag pole? What is the largest engine ever built?
Recruiter reached out to set up a presentation about myself and projects I’ve worked on. After not hearing back a few weeks after providing interview availability I reached out again and the recruiter asked for further availability and just did not respond anymore. Very unprofessional and frustrating process.
I enjoyed the interview process and liked how they had us do a presentation as well as ask us technical questions. They also gave us enough time to ask questions to them.

Interview
One interview that involved creating a presentation on a project I did for a panel, followed by a mix of behavioral and technical questions. None of the technical questions were too bad in that they were hard to answer, but you definitely could have a bad answer to a question. Second interview consisted of a 1 on 1 phone call with a person on a specialized team to see if I'd be a good fit.
