I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nokia (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
First there is a phone call with the hiring manager that was around 20 minutes long. Then there is a technical interview with another person on the team. They did not ask any coding questions and just confirmed the information on my resume. They asked me about the technical implementations of some of my projects and explain a bit about my past internship. Additionally, they asked some technical questions about the tools that are present on your resume and that are relevant to the job. I got asked about Docker and ETL pipelines which were fairly straightforward to answer. I think the main influence were the projects on my resume since they aligned very closely with the role.
