Embedded Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I applied online. The process took 1 week.
The process included a technical coding interview. I was asked to write a program that detects a door knock sequence. The problem statement was ambiguous, and many details were left open to personal interpretation, such as the input format and what counts as a valid sequence. I had to make my own assumptions and explain them as I went.
