I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Applied normally, got ghosted, then recruiter reached out much later based off my Linkedin. She rescheduled the phone screen multiple times (frequently cancelling less than a day in advance), then I took an online assessment in C++. Had a phone screen afterwards with recruiter, then had a 1x60 technical round. While recruiter was nice, not a good look to cancel multiple times. The actual technical was implementing a multithreaded function or two which wasn't very relevant to embedded. The interviewer also had a thick accent and we jumped right into the coding problem without much introduction. Just felt like a rat lab doing that problem, rather than getting to showcase my skills or have a discussion on anything else.

Question 1
Classic behavioral questions in the phone screen: tell me about yourself, why Verkada, etc.
