After submitting CV, I was scheduled for a 15mins screening with the Talent acquisition. The next round was a technical hour-long interview with two engineers in London. The atmosphere was fairly relaxed though serious. The questions were about SQL, particular possible situations facing customers, my motivation to work for AVEVA and my understanding of the company's mission, general questions about computers such as; what are the minimal elements you need to make a computer? Do you know what RAM is? If you download 5 apps and your computer gets slow, how would you find out which one is slowing it down?
I was asked to speak in Italian for some minutes.

If you download 5 apps and your computer gets slow, how would you find out which one is slowing it down?
I applied online. I interviewed at AVEVA (Lake Forest, CA)
Interview
The interview process was quite extensive, lasting around four hours in total. It was structured across three separate interviews, which allowed the team to evaluate both technical and interpersonal aspects of my fit for the role. I met with two different managers, each focusing on different areas such as my problem-solving approach, past experience, and how I handle real-world scenarios. The third interview was with HR, which was more focused on behavioral questions, cultural fit, and discussing my background, career goals, and expectations. Overall, the process was thorough and gave me a well-rounded understanding of the role and the team.
