Firmware Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
This is for my internal transfer back in 2020.
I had a 3-round interview process:
- 1 interview with the manager
- 1 phone interview with engineers
- 2 on-site interviews with engineers
The interview process took about 2 months.
However, the transfer date was the tricky part. The old and new managers needed to agree on the date to transfer. Normally, this might take about 2-4 months. In my case, it took about 2 months for me.
