Typical interview loop

How Western Digital usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.

  1. Application review

    Focus: Resume match

    You apply or join a talent community, and a recruiter reaches out only if you are picked for interviews.

  2. Online test

    Focus: Coding and CS basics

    An hour-long test mixing aptitude with coding problems and language or SQL questions; for firmware tracks it adds C/C++ output, OS and electronics.

  3. Technical interviews

    Focus: DSA, C/C++, OS

    Usually two hour-long rounds of live coding on data structures such as linked lists and strings, plus OOP, OS concepts and a dig into your projects.

  4. Managerial and HR round

    Focus: Teamwork and motivation

    A behavioral conversation on teamwork, pressure and motivation, followed by a short HR call and, if successful, an offer through the recruiter.
