Design Verification Engineer Interview Experience - Maynard, Massachusetts
Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
There were five interviews in total: one screening and four technical. All the people whom I met were pleasant to talk to. The questions were fairly easy with some gotchas in the mix. They favored collaboration to solve problems rather than knowing all the solutions beforehand.
Questions
Look at some code and tell us what's wrong with it and how to fix it.
