Question 1
If we are out of space and need to add a production line in, what do we do?
Had a great call with a nice talent acquisition person. They said I'd have two 30-min technical calls, followed by an on-site presentation and skill assessment.
First call was introductory but they still look for a lot of passion in their products and mission.
Several rounds of interviews. First just a call with a recruiter that's really relaxed. Then one with HM, then take-home technical assessment, then follow-up interview. They ask brain teaser-like questions about modifications to scenarios. If you pass, you are flown on-site for a presentation and many one-on-one interviews. Really involved process.
