After an initial phone screening they guided me through what the potential interview process would look like. We then had a virtual interview with hiring manager, then a further more in-depth on-site interview.

Planned - Presentation based on Experience followed by 1:1s with panel members, I presented on a past project showcasing manufacturing engineering skills - equipment design, procurement, working with vendors, DFMA reviews etc. I had my first 1:1 with Manufacturing Engineering lead. The lead and I had worked for same company previously. He set an awkward tone for the interview. Started discussing about how that company did things certain way. The conversation went sideways and became irrelevant to Joby or the role. After 45 mins of first round, the recruited came to greet me and mentioned they have found a better candidate for the role and are stopping the interview then. Showed me out. My assessment - Either They probably had extended an offer and were evaluating backup candidates. Or They are generating fake data to show they have interviewed candidates to gain benefits. I cannot assess the interview difficulty as I was not asked a single technical question.
