Embedded Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Recruiter call, then coding after three weeks about a ring buffer.
The questions were surprising because I was supposed to be asked C++ questions; however, the question was about C programming. The interviewer helped me through the questions, but I ran out of time.
Questions
Write a ring buffer in C to initialize, write, and read.
