Good interview process. However, the company ghosted after the interview (4 hours). After repeated emails, they sent a reject after 3 months. Asked ML question in the entry-level SE position
Phone Interview with an engineer. The interview is mainly on C questions even though I was ready for an interview on Java questions. The interview started with somewhat easy questions like unions and structs in C and went all the way to resource sharing and multi-threading. It was a 30 minutes phone interview.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hughes Network Systems (Germantown, MD)
Interview
Phone screen, technical phone screen, on-site interview with 4 different managers. Each manager seemed to be from a different department and looking for different things - anywhere from low level programming experience and bit manipulation to web development.
Flown out and put in a hotel on their dime with other expenses like food and taxi/car paid for. Heard back within 2 weeks of the on-site interview. Very impersonal process. Met with HR to go over benefits and was "locked" in a meeting room for four hours with hiring managers rotating out. Benefits weren't very good.
