Process

As part of the recruiting event Destination Q, I flew to San Diego to participate in interviews.

There were three technical interviews focusing on:

  • C/C++
  • RTOS
  • Problem Solving

The interview experience depended entirely on who you were fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to get. Some interviewers were phenomenal, while another was absolutely terrible.

San Diego is a beautiful area, though, and should be considered.
