Embedded Software Engineer - - New Grad Interview Experience - Canada

Process

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SAVE YOUR TIME FROM THEIR SCAM INTERVIEW PROCEDURE.

(Me and my other four friends are the victims).

First, they will send you an online assessment containing coding and objective questions. In my case, I had attempted all the questions correctly except one.

Considered myself "fortunate" at that time as I got an interview call scheduled for 2 hours.

Now the day has come, excited. In the beginning, two guys interviewed me for 2 hours, which went quite well, as I had attempted all the coding questions and answered all interview questions correctly.

Fully confident. Then they asked me to wait for the manager to continue the interview process further.

He started asking me questions at a hardware level (which was not even related to the position I had applied for). Then he questioned me about networking and OS concepts, which were not basic at all. They could only be answered by some experienced person.

The whole process took more than 4 hours.

After a day, I was informed by them that they were seeking a highly experienced person for a new grad position and then they referred me to another hiring manager for the interview.

Guess what? The same thing happened again. This time, five people interviewed me at the same time, asking me the same foolish questions that were irrelevant.

The interview process was so disorganized that they kept intervening and contradicting each other while asking questions.

They all were so rude that they stopped the interview as soon as I got stuck on one question. They didn't even bother to give me another chance to answer.

P.S. - Even if I had received an offer, I would not have accepted it.

Questions

Networking, OS, C++ and hardware questions as well (don't just expect basics of all these).
