Hardware Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and was contacted within a week or two by a recruiter. The recruiters were very helpful and kind, but I didn't get the same feeling from the team I interviewed with.

I had an initial Skype interview with my would-be manager, who asked a long series of questions spanning analog design, low-level programming, and DSP (I'm an EE).

After the initial interview, I was given a programming assignment to complete on my own. I then had a follow-up interview with the group manager.

Both engineers I spoke to were very short and gave me the feeling that they didn't have time to talk to me. After multiple interviews, I was given a very gentle "no" by the recruiter.

Was this helpful?
