long, too many interviews, dragged out for weeks. Gave me a verbal offer, then cut the job. Won't interview there again, red flags. They were easy technical interviews, no coding assignments or anything ridiculous.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me a time you solved a difficult engineering problem
I applied online. I interviewed at Viasat (Carlsbad, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
Half hour phone call with HR
One hour technical screen with the hiring manager
Virtual on-site interview consisting of 4 interviews with different people including another manager and potential teammates
After going through the whole process, I followed up with the recruiter couple of times after 2 - 4 weeks for feedback since I didn't hear anything back, but HR ghosted me.
The overall mood of the interviewers was gloomy and there seemed to be very little emphasis on solid software engineering and design. In retrospect, I think I dodged a bullet.
