Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i]. Follow up. Do it in linear time complexity and do not use division operation
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens Digital Industries Software (Portland, OR) in Feb 2023
Interview
I had 5 rounds :
1) hiring manager (30 mins): a normal call where we discussed job requirements and my past experience.
2) Team manager (45 mins): experience, debug code in C, questions on multithread concepts.
3) team member (45 mins): reading the file and doing some string manipulation and explaining my project in C and some cross-questions.
4) team member (1.5 hours): I was asked several DSA questions like linkedList, queue to stack, tree traversal, binary search, hash map
5) team member (45 mins): more like puzzles, the leetcode egg problem, racing problem.
I had a very bad experience. Someone else who was hired for this role had only 3 rounds. Apart from that my hiring manager left the company dangling my processes in between. They rejected telling me they have other candidates whom they are ahead within the interview. Overall interviewers were good but the entire process seemed not evenly organized and lack of communication of the interviewers/ team with the hiring manager.

Interview
HR phone screen, interview with senior engineer (behavioral and tech but not live coding). Not too hard but definitely need to Leetcode. Look for popular Leetcode and you're set. People are nice and helpful but it's still an interview so know your stuff.
