I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Spectrum Brands (Lake Forest, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
There were multiple interviews throughout the process. First it was a call from HR to briefly go over your background to make sure you're a good fit. Second, was a call with a hiring manager to go over your resume and discuss the position. And lastly was a set of 4 interviews with the director, two other managers, and a product engineer. The interviews were mainly behavioral based with some technical discussion. Overall, fairly easy interview process.
