I applied for this job on their website and received a phone interview invitation two weeks later. The HR representative allowed me to choose a date that I was available and quickly scheduled and confirmed the interview.

The interviewer was a senior engineer who asked me to explain one of the projects mentioned on my resume and inquired about implementation details. She then asked me to discuss my understanding of CDMA. I felt I was doing okay up to this point.

After that, she asked what programming languages I was proficient in. I am proficient in C only, but her team prefers someone skilled in a higher-level language.

Later, she explained what her team was working on and her responsibilities within the team. Finally, she asked me about the software development cycle, which I was unable to answer correctly.

What is the software development cycle?

What is your understanding of CDMA?
