Video Compression Engineer Interview Experience - Markham, Canada
Process
I first explained the algorithm I developed for video frame rate up-conversion in image processing. The technical interviewer then tested my knowledge on video compression standards, and he was quite impressed. I was then asked to write a C test. I stated that I had developed all of my algorithms in MATLAB for the past two years and had not had any exposure to C in the past five years (as indicated on my resume). This immediately turned off the hiring manager, and I did not get the job.
