The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Rincon Research Corporation (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
The interview was easy, but everyone asked variations of the same questions. From the first person it was clear the interviewers where out of there subject matters. This is usually fine, but they did not do even the most shallow reaserach on the subject. This led to ill defined questions being asked and when told they are ill defined to solve them anyway, or having to explain the most basic concepts of why it is ill defined. Waste of a day. Very unprofessional.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rincon Research Corporation (Tucson, AZ) in Feb 2025
Interview
There were three milestones in the interview process. The first was an informal phone conversation to assess interest in the company and gain some clarification on the applicant's background. That was followed by a coding challenge that was delivered via email. And the last milestone was an on-site interview. That interview took about six hours long and consisted of some orientation on company benefits, business mission and organization, and technical interviews, which accounted for most of the six hours. The on-site interview also included lunch sponsored by the company.

Interview
Began with a phone screen, a barrage of technical questions. Then the in person event, which they flew me out for. Took about five hours of total interviewing with a one hour lunch break. Rotating between engineers of different backgrounds, each asking about 2-3 questions which I'd explain on a whiteboard.

Interview
I spoke with a recruiter on the phone, who set up a phone interview with one of the engineers. Immediately after the interview, they sent me a coding assessment to complete.
