I applied online. I interviewed at Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro) (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Interviewed twice for different roles. One interview seemed like the hiring manager was quite a bit less senior than myself, thus the role was not well matched for my seniority or expectations. Another interview went relatively well, but some company specific areas where I was not familiar with were the only hesitation voiced and the interviewer asked for me to create a detailed 6 slide technical presentation on those areas to submit to him to determine if we could proceed further based on my ability to learn it...... I decided to take the punt and burn a weekend learning the specific technical content. It was all simple to grasp, but just took a long time to gather all the content, process and create the presentation. I sent the presentation, which in reality should have been sufficient to enter a second round interview. But I wasted a lot of my personal time with no tangible follow up from the interviewer.

Asked about some company specific areas relating to their product specifications where I was not familiar with were the only hesitation voiced and the interviewer asked for me to create a detailed 6 slide technical presentation on those areas to submit to him to determine if we could proceed further based on my ability to learn it......

Interview
After the recruiter pre-screening, I expected a one-on-one interview with the hiring manager. However, it turned out to be an online panel with three interviewers, and I was the only one with video on. The setup was unexpected, but the questions were relevant to the role and my past experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro) (San Jose, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
I only had 2 rounds of interview, first one is a chat with hiring manager and the second one is a one hour round table interview with 4 cross functional team members.
