I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fisker
Interview
Initial 15 - 30 min call with recruiter. 30min video call with hiring manager asking some questions about experience and background and some basic software engineering questions. Then a 1 hour technical interview with SWE and hiring manager on leetcode medium problem. Recruiter did not communicate well and seemed to not be in touch with the hiring manager (did not know job location). Recruiter not transparent throughout the interview process and gave shady answers to my questions. Was told I got the job but a week later it fell through due to a re-org. Recruiter would not give salary range for position.

The interview process usually starts with an application review, followed by a phone or video screening to assess qualifications. Successful candidates are invited for in-depth interviews, often including technical tests or situational questions. Final steps may involve a cultural fit assessment, reference checks, and a job offer or rejection.
