Interview
Short phone call with recruiter followed by a meeting with the team manager. Mostly asked about background and some questions about C++. Was then given an online multiple choice test for C++, was pretty hard but I'm not sure how important it was. This was followed by a long interview (4.5 hours) with multiple members of the team, did a few easy/medium coding problems (via sharescreen) and talked about my background.

First HR interview, then a technical interview. The team chose other candidates after the technical interview. The technical interview has three people who asked questions about my resume and past projects, experience with coding, and knowledge about solid mechanics.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Ansys (Canonsburg, PA) in May 2025
Interview
Participated in a total of five steps including: an initial phone screen, followed by a conversational interview with a potential manager, the next step was a technical assessment, after was a conversational interview with a Senior Engineer, last was a conversation with a Senior Manager. There was positive feedback at each step, except after the last stage.
I had enjoyable conversations and met good people throughout the entire process, but unfortunately the hiring process ended with a template rejection email after the final meeting with no clear feedback.
