BrainChip interview questions

Beware! The issue/challenge is not the interview process as the process is fairly straight forward. The issue with the current leadership is one of poor business ethics and clarity. As example, lets say that the role was communicated as a role with a base salary of $100,000 (an example). Then when the offer was made, the hiring manager used fuzzy math by stating that the "Base" salary was actually a 70/30 split of the communicated offer. That meant that the "Guaranteed" base salary was $70,000 with MBOs or KPIs equal to $30,000. In my view this was a "Bait and Switch" move on the part of the company or Hiring Manager plain and simple. My advice would be to avoid this company under the current sales leadership unless you simply have "no" other options and you are in the "any port in a storm" scenario.

4 calls with different management and “C-suite” stakeholders. Only the sales stakeholder was well-prepared for the meeting and I enjoyed that engagement. The remaining stakeholders were not well-informed of the market where Brainchip wants to be a competitor. They are obsessed with their IP but do not understand current market trends, the target market nor current technology and development trends. I found one team member to be quirky and confrontational and another to be incoherent to the topic of conversation. The team has no clear vision and is made up of all the wrong people. Any information outside the Brainchip website was videos of the “C-suite” trying to attract investors without a clear understanding of the technology or the market. I dropped out of the process after the fourth call and coincidentally did not hear back from Brainchip for a month, stating they had moved on with other candidates. I don’t mean to be critical but this company will be gone soon, which is too bad. The tech itself is cool but the existing technology landscape doesn’t need Brainchip.
