A hiring manager contacted me about the position, and I applied online. I then went through a very demanding phone interview and was subsequently invited to an on-site interview.

The on-site interview involved several members of the group, who asked a variety of questions about software, computer architecture, and assembly. Overall, I felt I was a good and great fit for the position and was considered for it. I received a contingent offer, but it was later withdrawn.

I require an H1B visa, and they could not sponsor me because they were unable to meet the deadline for the cap.

Overall, the process was very good and smooth, but there were a few issues.

• One or two members were very unfriendly and hostile. I don't know what their agenda was, but I had the feeling they wanted to doubt everything I have accomplished in the past.
• Another aspect I dislike is that although they paid for the hotel and plane tickets, it took a very long time to reimburse me for other expenses they covered (taxi, meals, etc.). It would be great if this reimbursement process was much faster and more direct.

Most of the questions were demanding and difficult, but not impossible.
