Embedded Software Engineer Interview Experience - Langley, British Columbia
Process
Phone screen + 4 rounds, 3 technical, 1 behavioral (I only made it to round 2).
Technical rounds were standard LeetCode, but with hard-enforced C coding only, without any libraries. The overall difficulty was LeetCode medium, but the interviewers were very unhelpful. They wouldn't answer any questions other than repeating what was written in the questions. They also said to not talk through my thought processes; they'd just review code correctness at the end (terrible advice for 99.9% of other technical interviews).
Questions
Convert a base 10 int to a base 12 int in C (no libraries).

Fortinet Work Experiences
- 2.0Stable But Stagnant Braindead JobEmbedded Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaSeptember 6, 2025Pros: WLB, no PIP, no layoff. 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.
