The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

The interview process is about testing your coding chops. You'll get several problems, and you need to write code for each one. These little code bits will fit together to solve a larger issue. Make sure to write the code and then talk about how you figured it out.Candidate-reported process
So, first there was this phone interview where they asked me about my knowledge on C and firmware. After that, I had 2 on-site technical interviews, and each one was about 2 hours long. During the technical interviews, I had to solve 3 leetcode questions on a whiteboard.Candidate-reported process
it was a straightforward embedded interview. there were 5 technical rounds in total. 2 of them were 1 hour long and the other 3 were half an hour each. we covered embedded C basics, memory management, coding a DMA driver, implementing malloc, implementing an atoi function, bit manipulation, and reversing bytes in a word.Candidate-reported process
