Got contacted by my college for an embedded systems intern role. Had a phone interview and then went in for an in-person interview at their office. It was a panel interview in a conference room with several interviewers. They asked straightforward, thorough questions. The office vibe was a bit formal and lacked personality.

Technical Behavioral
I applied online and heard back after about two weeks to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. We talked for about 30 minutes. They started by asking me to introduce myself, then followed up with some technical questions based on what I said. They also asked if I'd used Simulink in MATLAB and about my availability. I don't think it was a good fit since I haven't heard back in almost a month.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- Have you used Simulink in MATLAB before?
- What's your availability?
