Process
I received an email invitation for a telephonic interview. The interview was 1.5 hours long.
He started with "Tell me something about yourself." Then, he asked situational, logical questions based on a WiFi application. These questions did not require specific knowledge about WiFi; they were more algorithm design-based.
He also asked about my comfort level with C programming and why I wanted to work for this position.
