I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DroneShield (Sydney)
Interview
Had a call with the head of the software team. It was very informal and vibes-based for the first interview. Just wanted to know what I worked on and my experience. The interviewer admitted to not knowing very much about the area, but was more interested in attitude at this stage. I decided not to proceed further.
