Now that I'm sure I was ghosted, I wanna share the process that I went through. # Application: I applied on LinkedIn with a tailored resume on 10/05/2024 for "DevOps Engineer (Flight Software) - Intern (Winter 2025)". I applied to every single one of Astranis' CS co-ops for a month, and sent a whole bunch of connection requests to their recruiters. Only one of them accepted, and she wasn't even the one that reached out through email for the interview. Not exactly sure if the connection requests gave me any exposure. Funnily enough, the position was reposted 15 hours ago at the time of writing. # Email for interview: I got an email to submit my availability on 11/13/2024. # Interview 1: 11/20/2024 This was a 60-minute generic coding interview. It was a system design question where I had to implement moving average with a window size of k. I managed to solve it optimally. I'd say it was a leetcode medium. He told me I could do it in Python in C++. It was clear he was much more used to C++. I finished in 30 mins and me and the guy just talked about life in the company and my background. # Interview 2: 11/27/2024 This one was 45 minutes (which is weird since it was an arguably harder interview). I was given a long problem statement and a unit-test class that would occasionally behave incorrectly and throw an error. My task was to identify the root cause and solve the issue. I had to use the Python "unittest" package, and I was given the link to the documentation. I had never seen this package in my life (and it wasn't listed in the job requirements; see below), so I struggled hard for the first 5 mins until the guy told me to forget the docs and just ask him directly when I had questions. There were four tasks in the interview: - make a function that reports how many tests pass, fail, and give errors - loop that function and see which functions are "flaky" (aka sometimes giving errors) - determine what is causing the test cases to give errors - fix the errors I only got to do the first 2 before time ran out. # Interview 3 I didn't immediately get an email after the second interview, so I followed up after a week. Recruiter told me that both interviewers enjoyed talking to me and asked me for my availability for the third interview. I sent them back, and no response. I followed up after another week with no luck. They ghosted. # Appendix The position (and job description): https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4039915904
