I passed my resume to a director in firmware engineering at the career fair and received a call back from him in a couple of days. Initially, there was a phone interview where he asked me a few questions about my projects and work experience, followed by a few technical questions. Then, he scheduled an onsite interview.

There were six rounds:

• The first three were with two Engineering Managers/Directors for each round. They drilled a lot about my past work experience and projects (one should be thorough with each line on the resume).
• One round was a technical assessment in C (standard C questions, code snippets and expected output, macros, pointers, arrays, structures, storage class specifiers).
• The next round was with a couple of technical people who caught me off guard with difficult questions and tried to push me out of my comfort zone.
• The last round was with HR.

They not only tested my technical skills but also my overall personality. There were a lot of behavioral questions, and they expected honest answers and a positive attitude.

Some unexpected questions about one of my academic projects.
