Just had the first round. The interviewer was really nice. Asked me a couple questions on my background. But they were not looking to sponsor at the time. I think it went well but we couldn't proceed because of sponsorship reasons.

The interview process was a 30 min interview with the hiring manager and then a 4 hour onsite interview. It was a good experience overall. This position was non technical despite the title of hardware engineer so they asked a lot of behavioral questions and scenario based questions and some questions about my background. I didn't hear anything afterwards.
