Easy. Phone interview filled by onsite interview. Everyone was polite and positive. No testing or knowledge based testing. After the interview I was contacted about a week later. An offer letter was sent two weeks after the first interview

The first interview was very basic, talking with the hiring manager and describing my experience while answering any questions. No trick questions, just an assessment. That followed with an on-site interview and 10-15minute technical presentation to a panel of engineers of a technical project I had worked on.
- Tell me about your experience with reliability and validation testing.

I applied online. I interviewed at BAE Systems USA (Fort Walton Beach, FL) in Apr 2023
The interview process was very casual, not any crazy questions. They have more of a walk-through and description of what the job would consist of. The company seems very laid back and easy going work place.
- What is your overall goal?

First was a phone screen with the recruiter. The recruiter did not call me at the scheduled time, but called later in the day. He did not apologize for missing/forgetting it and was quite rude during our conversation. The second phone interview was with the hiring manager. Although we had a pleasant conversation (I thought), I was ghosted and no one ever followed up with me about whether or not I was moving forward. I only found out by checking my candidate profile on their careers' page. Definitely not a great candidate experience!
- Why are looking to leave your current role?

Preliminary phone call with the recruiter. After speaking with them about the role and company they mentioned that they were not able to sponsor international candidates for this position. Otherwise it was a great fit.
- Do you have any experience with this job?

I applied online. I interviewed at BAE Systems USA in Feb 2023
The position asked for 0-2 years of experience. I'm a BootCamp grad with only 5 month of internship experience. The interview was straightforward and had 2 steps, the first one was a half an hour phone call asking about my background, behavioral and some OOP concept questions. The second one was a 2.5 hour of interview in 4 different parts, a.company introduction, b. 1 to 1 interview asking about my background and projects in detail and some behavioral, c. A panel interview asking some programming questions and behavioral questions, d. Q&A session at the end The interview team were nice and I got a good vibe from them and I believe I did really good in the interviews. But! the recruiter who was in charge for this position didn't answer any emails from me asking about what I should get prepared for the interview and so on. After interview she never answered any email either which is very unprofessional for this type of company. I wasn't a random person emailing her, I was an actual candidate asking about the process and it was her job to answer my email! I received a phone call a week later told me it seemed I was more advance for this position!! and if I wanted to get consider for a higher position which was not available at that time. I said I think as a new grad I preferred to stay at this position and receive more support and training. A the end, after 3 weeks of waiting I got a rejection. After a month, I saw 2 job openings for a junior level position, I applied, send emails to the recruiter and remind her about the situation, again heard nothing from her, and got rejection emails. Overall, the company seems a good place to work but that specific recruiter didn't work professionally.
- Some OOP concept, behavioral and easy programming questions.
