Ouster interview questions

The interview process moved very quickly, and I made sure to stay flexible since the hiring manager emphasized that the position would progress at a fast pace. Each interview was interactive and felt like a genuine conversation, while still being informative throughout. I appreciated how transparent the team was during the process. I made it through all the rounds, only to be ghosted in the end.

Very odd. I went into the interview thinking the internship was optomechanical related but the interview ended up being for mechanical. I was also under the impression that I was meeting with just the lead but during the interview I was greeted by the entire team of around 6 people. They didn't even start with "tell me about yourself" or any other standard interview opening. The first question they asked was, "So do you have any questions for us?" The interview was not really behavioral-based at all. They didn't ask anything related to leadership experience or how I would work in a group or deal with a difficult member. The interview felt way too technical for just an internship. In a way, it almost felt like I was being interviewed for a full-time entry position. The team asked challenging technical questions based on my resume. The overall structure felt as though they didn't know how to properly interview someone. I also found it odd that they kept asking me questions related to my older resume items and not my most recent experience.
