      Embedded Software Engineer Interview

      12 Apr 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Budapest
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cognex (Budapest)

      Interview

      HR interview (general infos, cultural fit), then 30-min test and an hour-long technical interview where we discussed my test and previous experiences. Whole process took around 2.5-3 hours so I got a bit exhausted by the end. Potential next round is video call with manager.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were questions that focused on my interests and professional goals and how they may meet the what the company can offer. This was positive :)

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cognex (Portland, OR)

      Interview

      A recruiter called, had in-person meeting with his recruiting team. I received relatively easy coding questions in email to finish. I finished it with no issues. A few days later had phone screening with the hiring manager for 45 minutes talking mostly about what I have done and some basic technical questions. The person use speaker phone causing some echo on his voice, but later blamed me for his difficulty hearing me talking. I enjoyed the on-paper coding questions, though. A positive experience for me.
