Month long process with about 5 interviews in total, final interview consisted of presentation and 1:1’s. Overall it was a very good experience and was able to learn a lot, wish the outcome was different
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Skydio in Jun 2024
Interview
1. Meet Hiring Manager + Mini System Design
2. Technical Screen 1 hr: Linear Algebra + Quantitative Coding
3. Onsite (Presentation, Behavior, Coding, Design Rounds)
The presentation felt like a bit unnecessary since it wasn’t a research role, and they even changed the job description the day before the interview. It seemed like the team wasn’t exactly sure what kind of engineer or team they needed to solve their business problems.
Everyone was super nice though, and the problems were pretty interesting—a mix of robotics and software engineering.
