Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
The questions were relatively trivial. Some were tough, and some were easy. People didn't speak good English. Some were not very patient with you. It was a day-long interview, but not super rough.
There were a lot of C and assembly questions, including linked lists, string manipulation, and bitmasks. Some conceptual questions and processor topics were also covered. They did not ask me about LTE standards.
