Interview
Phone interviews-standard questions--what are your credentials, why should we choose you for the job, etc... Pretty easy interview, honestly and I got the job. I have to say it was during a time they were very much looking for an HR partner and I was over qualified for the role.
The interview process was a 30 min interview with the hiring manager and then a 4 hour onsite interview. It was a good experience overall. This position was non technical despite the title of hardware engineer so they asked a lot of behavioral questions and scenario based questions and some questions about my background. I didn't hear anything afterwards.
