Perceptronics Solutions interview questions

It took over two months. They do not utilize an HR recruiter, which they sorely need. They have the hiring manager ask for salary requirements and do an initial interview. Then a second technical interview with senior members, then finally a final interview with the manager/CEO who asks all the same questions in the previous interviews and mostly on machine learning which was not the role that I was interviewing for. Then he asked me to do a take home coding challenge. After a week, I had no reply and emailed them. They said I was a top candidate and liked my coding challenge answers. Then two weeks later they told me my salary requirements, which they assessed two months ago, was too high for the position. It was a big waste of my time and theirs. If they had an HR recruiter, this information would have been assessed and negotiated with the candidate before going further in the interview process. Everything was done on Zoom due to Covid-19.

For my interview I met with the whole office (about 10 people) - they put me in a room, and 2-4 people would come through at a time to chat, usu a half-hr or so. I met with the big boss, some science guys, and some developers. Nice staff, on the young side, no one over 40. They were dressed business casual to just plain casual. They asked me what projects I'd worked on, then they explained what they did. They did a lot of the talking. To do well in the interview, be able to describe projects you've done, and maybe read up on their site and be able to converse with them about the company's work. Was not stressful, no brainteasers, no whiteboard in the room. I was asked a few technical questions, but nothing like they're trying to trick you or anything. All in all, was low-key, more of a test of if personalities would mesh ok.
