The interview process was overall professional and technically focused. I had a live coding session on a shared screen with two interviewers, where I typed the solutions directly on my laptop while they observed and asked follow-up questions.

What they asked: Most questions were in C and C++, covering low-level behavior and understanding of how the language works “under the hood.” Examples of the questions/topics I was asked:

Code-reading questions such as: “What will happen when this function runs?” – focusing on pointers, references, and memory behavior.

A conceptual C question: a function receiving a pointer to a double. The discussion centered on ownership, side-effects, and best practices. I explained that passing a raw pointer to a function can make ownership unclear —

Overall impression: The interviewers were friendly and focused on understanding how I think about code correctness, memory, and best practices in C/C++. The questions were fair, practical, and aligned with real embedded/system-level development challenges.

An algorithmic question: finding the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
