Candidate-reported interview process

It was a three-round interview process. The first round involved talking with HR about general things. The second round was with the software manager, where we discussed my resume and they also gave me some simple coding and debugging problems to solve. The third round consisted of two software engineers who tested my coding skills with screen coding questions.

It was a good interview experience, and I think I did well. They asked a lot about microcontrollers, microprocessors, and embedded C. I'm hoping to get selected. There were three rounds in total.

The interview experience was good. It seems like they have very strong teams there. The office was also nice.
