Firmware Engineer Interview Experience - Burnaby, British Columbia
Process
The interview had two parts: a written exam followed by an oral interview.
The written exam was about 20 multiple-choice questions, and the rest were "many" coding questions (6 or 7 pages long).
Then they asked about my resume, the project I am currently working on, and the ones that I may like to work on at this company.
Questions
Detailed questions about the projects that I had done more than 5 years ago, like the number of lines in the C codes I wrote for a project! Or the number of functions that I had written for a C code 7 years ago!
