      Embedded QA Engineer Interview

      3 Apr 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fitbit (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      Found the job posting on Indeed website. Had two phone interviews and an on-site visit. First phone interview was with the recruiter. She was very nice and easy to talk to. The conversation was mostly about what my job duties currently are and how they relate to the position I was applying for. The second phone interview was with a Firmware QA Engineer. The conversation wasn't as technical as I had imagined it would be. We just had a nice discussion about my job duties and responsibilities, why I want to leave my current job, and why I want to work for Fitbit. We also discussed a little bit about debugging hardware issues and travelling to China for work. The on-site interview was quite the learning experience. I have only had one other technical interview, which was nothing compared to this at all. Total, I met with 4 groups of 2 people. Each for an hour at a time. I started with two more Firmware QA Engineers, both were super nice guys. We talked about the "day-to-day" routine for them. Next, I met with the Firmware Project Manager and a Program Manager for Beta Testing. They took me to lunch and we talked more about who I am as an employee/person and how I handle stress. We ate cheeseburgers while we talked. Overall it was a nice conversation. Both employee's really enjoyed the people they work with and appreciated their coworkers. After those interviews were the meetings with the Firmware Engineers. Again, each group I met with was very nice. I spoke with 2 engineers at a time. Each seemed extremely intelligent and highly knowledgeable. No engineer I spoke with was rude, arrogant, or condescending in any way (sometimes that can be the case with engineers). The conversations were about the following: programming knowledge, debugging hardware/firmware problems, solving a generic work-related problem on the white-board, and what my passion is in engineering. I think of myself as a bright person and I know that I'm a relatively talented EE for the little experience I actually how. The engineers that I met were truly inspiring. They all loved the people they work with and knew SO MUCH. They let me direct the topics of conversation. If I mentioned something, they would ask many questions in order to see exactly how deep my knowledge of that topic was. And when my knowledge of said topic ran out, they did not make me feel bad or stupid. They are all very gifted in discovering how much you actually know. I learned that if I mention something in an interview, then I need to be ready to thoroughly discuss it. I can't bring up some project I worked on unless I know EVERYTHING about it. Lastly, I met with the System Architect. He is the head of the Firmware Department. Nice person. Short 30-40 minute conversation. Workplace was very small. Everyone was working SO close to the person next to them. Then again, they are moving offices to a larger space.
