Applied online where they expect you to fill in your motivation in 100% honesty and detail. The whole online application process takes like 1.5 hours if you indeed need a call. The first time I applied, I didn't pay heed to their questions and got a "Rejection" and 2nd time I applied I filled in everything and got the assignment to complete!
1. Why do you want to work at Lightyear?
2. If given the choice to work on any system in the Lightyear One, which would be your preference? And why?
3. In your entire career what has been your crowning moment? And also your biggest mistake, and why?
4. Why did you become an embedded software engineer and not an astronaut? Why have you decided that Lightyear might be your next step? And why this position in particular?
5. Do you have a Github account, website or portfolio showing your work that you would like to share?
6. Do you have any questions yourself?
After I answered these questions I got an Assignment to complete. I will add the assignment in the questions for you guys to solve.
I completed the assignment and sent it back. I just got a response saying I am not selected for further rounds, without even saying why what or how ?
Typical Start-up culture!
