Process

At first, I got a phone interview from HR staff. She asked me some questions about my prior experiences and the minimum requirements they posted for the job position.

After passing that, I had another phone interview with the team manager, and he asked me about my basic programming skills and hardware knowledge.

The final step was a phone interview with the senior manager. Most questions were based on the knowledge I learned in class or my experiences described on my resume.

All processes were finished in two weeks, and I got a call from HR staff with my offer.
