Very crisp interview to get an idea about the nature and understanding of an individual. 2 round of interview one technical and second round for cultural fit. Company policies were also discussed
Atrociously protracted with poor communication, unnecessary volume of communication, significant ask for interview exercise, and lack of follow-up/candidate feedback following such an involved process. Shows that things probably move about as quickly as the Titanic internally. Bullet dodged.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hitachi (Portland, OR) in Oct 2021
