Firmware Engineer Interview Experience - Shakopee, Minnesota

January 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Received a call from an HR person who asked a few basic questions regarding firmware experience, salary expectations, and location.

After a week or so, the hiring manager gave a call. It was a 30-minute technical call of basic OS questions.

A week later, I was invited to their Shakopee, MN facility for an on-site interview. It was long and tiring. I went in at 10 am and got out around 5 pm.

The location is awful. Had to wait 45 minutes for a cab!

After answering almost all technical questions correctly, with 14 people interviewing me, they still sent a reject and wouldn't explain why. What a waste of time.

However, I got job offers from Qualcomm and Intel the next month, so I guess I'm glad they sent me a reject ;)

Questions

They give a C test and lots of OS, Algorithm, and Comp Arch questions.
