Process
They contacted me via email after numerous attempts to reach someone in the group.
I applied online, but my application was disregarded.
Eventually, a friend of mine handed over my resume, and I was invited for an interview.
There were five to six interviewers in the room who seemed determined to make me fail; it felt as if they already had someone in mind for the position.
Questions
They didn't really explain the questions well. Questions like, "How do you manage a fixed-point design?" I tried to make them clarify, but they replied with the same question.
