Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For HR questions like how do you deal with criticism from colleagues, they want to give examples from your own life. Since I didn't prepare them beforehand, I found them difficult to think online and reply.
There were three phases for recruiting procedures. The first stage was a brief and relaxing conversation, the second stage was about technical things and hiring manager asked several questions in the third stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me to write a prototype for a simple algorithm in any programming language
1) HR interview : discussion about candidate profile (studies, former experiences, hobbies and expectations) and presentation of the company. 2) Technical interview: questions about MATLAB and control design automation. Choose among 3 topic : Maths/Deployment/Control Automation 3) manager interview
