Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Garmin en mar 2012
Entrevista
Got called by a recruiter. Got a phone screen. They flew me to Olathe and I was interviewed by 4 groups. At the time the money the recruiter was quoting me was not what I would have wanted but I needed a job so I went through the process. I'm going to say that one of the best things that ever happened to my career was not getting an offer there. About 3 weeks later I got an offer that was 50% higher than what I would have accepted there. The company that made the offer was not only a much larger company, one that is truly on the leading edge of technology but also a company that treats it's employees fanstastically.
I answered their technical questions correctly. However, one of the developers who interviewed me was openly hostile to me. He grilled me about polymorphism in C++ and I patiently explained to him about base classes, virtual functions, function signatures, and overriding methods. Even though my explanation was correct he wrote in his comments that I was confused. He took a completely hostile approach from the gitgo with his opening comments. He may or may not work there any longer but he probably does. The amusing part about this is that I have my doubts that they really write a lot of code in C++.
Also there was a form for reimbursement of incidental expenses. I filed the form but I never received a cent.
My impression of the software development teams was that they are competent but probably lack decent leadership which means that there are probably not as productive as they could be. Of course some of the groups that I interviewed with have probably cut back (like consumer electronics), not sure about the OEM (car infotainment work), and some are probably doing well like the marine equipment and avionics.
I think one should expect less pay than industry norms when working there. I would put them in the average category. Some interesting work perhaps but a fair amount of incompetance in managing resources.
They also asked me to bring a sample of my code. They never asked to look at it in the five hours I was there. Today, git might be something they use now to review your code samples.

They had do a logic puzzle. It wasn't hard and I think the interview though it would take me awhile but I did it in about 3 minutes.
You first speak to hr, talk about your resume and experience, normal stuff. The technical started off with basic hr questions and a bit about your resume and experience. Then began to ask basic OOP concepts like Polymorphism, got asked whats difference between pass by reference and pass by value, stuff like that. Then a few coding questions in python.
It was a straight forward interview process, discussed my previous experience, and some general technical questions, and did a programming exercise in a video interview.
A SQL problem and a DSA problem.

HR screening was pretty basic. Technical interview was done remotely. There were two people on the call beside myself. Questions were all technical and didn't bleed into any behavioral questions or assessments.
