      Firmware Engineer Interview

      Dec 30, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Alarm.com

      Interview

      Typical phone screen first for 30 mins. Then required to do a 4 question HackerRank in 60 minutes. Questions were at least medium level and languages locked to C and C++. 2 of the questions involved sorting/algorithms. Had another interview with a senior engineer which went well, talking more about embedded software. Notified that we would not be proceeding with more interviews. I asked for some feedback but was sent essentially the same denial email again. Practicing lots of medium level HackerRank/leetcode seems to be a prerequisite.
