Process

I had an on-site interview with the GPS team.

I interviewed with six people, including:

  • 2 managers
  • 3 Senior Engineers
  • 1 HR person

Each interview took about 50 minutes. The interviews were very technical.

I was tested with a wide range of questions, including OS, C, boot sequences, and microcontroller architecture.

The interviewers were all very nice. In my opinion, they were almost too nice, which sometimes made me think I performed better than I actually did.
