Process
I first received the phone/internet call. I got through pretty easily. Within the next week, I received a call for the tech interview and took the call. I was asked questions in math, DSP, and C. I got through the math, MATLAB, and DSP sections without problems.
After two days, I checked my online status and it said 'not selected'.
Questions
Everything was pretty easy. I fumbled on a question in C where I was asked about pointers.
