Question 1
How would you plan if you were given a project to develop a new car?
Easy 30 Minute with construction team. Really chill vibe check. Asked me some random technicals but nothing insane. The technicals were about random class topics such as Thermodynamics and Mechsnics of Materials.

Interview
Video interview with a PM that lasted about 30 mins. Questions about reason for applying and specific questions on previous experience on my resume. The interviewer was patient and conversational, overall not a stressful experience, seemed more like a chat.
