      Staff Firmware Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Jose, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WD (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      I had one call with the recruiter where we went over my background and experience. Then I had a call with the hiring manager. With the hiring manager as well the conversation was mainly focused on my background, experience as well as the responsibilities for the role I was interviewing for. The manager was really great and gave me a very honest and thorough overview about the role and what he was looking for in the applicant. This interview went well and I was asked to come on-site for a day long interview the next week. I had 6 technical interviews (30 mins each) and 1 lunch conversation on-site. The interviewers were all very good and seemed like they were all passionate about their work. I had one coding round and the rest were mainly focused on my experience and background. Three days later I was made an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Background, experience related questions and one relevant coding question (fairly easy but very relevant to the job domain)
