For the first half of the interview, they questioned me on my resume experience, and asked questions like "how would you modify that project if you had to account for..." I talked a lot about a project I was comfortable with. Then they asked some abstract technical questions one after another. Some were easy, some were hard, but they all were interesting. The guy started off a question with "if elon asked us to..." which I thought was cool.

I received email after applying two weeks, and the HR schedule a phone interview which was quick and easy.

He asked so many questions that was not related to what I did. They things they're having the right people in their hiring team but no.
