Process
Contacted by recruiter via LinkedIn.
R1, R2, and R4 were coding rounds. I could not complete R4 on time and hence I wasn't able to proceed further.
Cons:
- Cooldown period for next interview is 12 months
- Very limited feedback was shared
Questions
R1 - Advanced String operations without using string.h
R2 - Optimizing 8-bit buffer data
R3 - Soft skill questions
R4 - Sort continuous data from SPI to a buffer of limited size
