Process

Phone Screen: The hiring manager reached out and asked to schedule an interview for the next couple of days, preparing for a coding-based interview.

An engineer from the team called the next day and asked system design and architecture questions. There was no coding involved. It felt like a pop quiz, with expectations to provide the exact answer the interviewer had in mind. Some questions were posed without context, which reflects poorly on the team and the organization in general.

Questions

System design, Embedded C, RTOS, Linux kernel
