Process

The first round was not bad. Only a single tech lead was present, asking basic C programming questions.

The second round was quite long and painful. It consisted of three 1+ hour sessions with two interviewers, some of whom were the hiring manager. Technical and soft skill questions alternated. Some questions could be tricky, such as those involving recursive C functions.

Overall, it's clear they are looking for good C programmers who can perform their duties effectively.
