Interview
I got an interview through the career fair at my university and had a next-day interview with an engineer from the Aviation department. I was asked several questions relating to embedded systems and only had one coding problem which is listed in the question section of this review. My interview was only an hour long and started off with technical questions then behavioral. Overall, it was a good interview experience.
