Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
Recruiters often take a long time to get back to candidates. In one instance, it took five weeks before I was informed they had hired someone else.
Be prepared to talk almost all day, with little to no time for lunch. I was quite exhausted by 6 PM, having started at 10 AM. Additionally, be very prepared to answer questions about your school projects.
