Firmware Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas

July 28, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 1 week.

Interview was on Google Meet and the room changed several times and the interviewer was late, and in the wrong room but pretended like it was my fault. Interviewer did not introduce himself, simply started asking me technical questions. After the technical questions he had me use his company’s vibe coded (AI slop) code interview software that wouldn’t compile my C++ code correctly and eventually his coworker redeployed it for some reason and then I couldn’t do anything.

Clearly I hadn’t gotten the job at that point since the interviewer was clearly just working and didn’t care that I was just sitting there not able to work on the solution. Very unprofessional interview and would not recommend at all.
