Process
I applied online for this position and received an email a month later asking for my availability.
I had my interviews in January 2015. There were three 45-minute technical phone interviews, all conducted on the same day. I had to code in a language of my choice on shared Google Docs.
The first interviewer asked a little about interrupts, given my embedded systems background.
