Process

The interview slot was for 45 minutes. There were two people on the panel. The interview started with a round of self-introductions.

Once that was done, I was asked to speak in detail about a project I had worked on previously. Approximately 25 minutes of the interview centered on this project, covering why it was done a certain way and not another.

Then, I was asked to write a C program to count the number of words in a string. With that, the interview ended. I asked one or two questions and signed off.
