Embedded Software Engineer Interview Experience - Burnaby, Canada
Process
Referred by a formal employee. I applied for a web developer position, but they gave me an OA for embedded software engineer, and it’s C only. After finishing the OA, both the recruiter and that employee disappeared. There was no follow-up, even though I emailed them to ask for it. I had practiced for a few hard coding challenges and reviewed C, but it remains nothing, not even a response. Totally a waste of my time.
Questions
OA: 10 basic questions and 4 coding problems

If you just want a place to retire and a stable, "braindead" job working on business logic that means nothing to you, this is a good fit.Cons: Low pay, slow promo, no growth. There are some especially incompetent managers/directors here. Who came to Canada in the early 2000s and pretty much stay here forever, and just seem to be out of touch with pretty much everything. You are literally wasting your life here. Any self-respecting, intelligent, or aspirational individual would not last long here.
