Firmware Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I was referred by an employee.
I didn't have to go through a technical interview on the phone. I interviewed with six people.
All except one person asked high-level technical, but not programming, questions. One person had a piece of paper with written C/assembly programming and algorithm questions.
This place looks like a sweatshop. After the interviews were done, around 6:30 PM, I saw a lot of engineers gather around for brought-in dinners.
