Poway, CAPosted Apr 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Software Engineer position with a fairly standard progression from screening to deeper technical follow-ups, ending with HR on comp and timing.

Recruiter phone screening — introduced myself, discussed prior experience, answered minor technical questions, and covered motivation.
Technical interview — went deeper on the same themes as the phone screen and included C++ programming tasks with an aerospace context.
HR discussion — a conversation about desired salary and preferred start date, signaling I was likely already considered technically. Outcome: I didn’t move forward, but the takeaway is that once I reached the HR step, the process suggested I was already aligned technically even if the final decision didn’t
