Technical Coding Behavioral
It was a walk-in interview. First up was a technical paper about ARM-Cortex processors and RTOS. After that, there was an interview based on my resume and some coding questions. The main issue is that they don't give feedback, so good luck getting anything from them. If anyone from the company is reading this, please provide feedback, positive or negative, and hire based on the years of experience for the position.
