Executive leadership had a handle on headcount growth and perk inflation. As a result, no major layoffs are planned in this downturn, nor is there a perk clawback.
Keeps expense growth on a tight leash, so perks, salaries, etc., are lower than in similar companies.
The second engineer who interviewed me was obnoxious and condescending. I believe I would rather slide naked down a hill of broken glass than work for a company that employs such people.
Just one on-site interview before hiring. I was interviewed by two engineers on the team. It was for the most part a typical software engineering interview, with only superficial questions about hardware. There were no explicit coding questions, but
Simple CMOS circuits (NAND, XOR, etc.) to check your knowledge of digital logic. Some C questions involving string manipulations and loop conditions to test programming competency. Interpersonal questions regarding past challenges, team experiences
