Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter was kind and easy to work with. She connected me with the team that most fit my interests, which was the Embedded Team.

I interviewed via Zoom with two engineers who took turns asking me questions. I didn't know all the answers, but it was a very educational experience, and I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and experiences. There was no coding portion to the interview.
