Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR asks many behavioral questions such as "Give me an example when you did xxx".
Expect some basic technical questions, which i basically dropped the ball and didn't know how to answer them properly. Some basic electric terms. That's probably i didn't get the job.
2 hours with multiple individuals. It was more of a conversation for the team to judge the candidates work flow approach. There weren't a lot of technical questions asked, They asked about candidate's professional experience and previous projects.
