      Firmware Engineer Interview

      21 Feb 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Burnaby, BC
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      After submitting my application, in 5 minutes or so, I received an email with a HackerRank test link for an online test. It felt like that a bot just clicked a button to send the test to any applicants. After a while, I received another email from a Fortinet recruiter about the online test. To this point, everything was bot/AI driven.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Total 14 Questions in 120 mins straightly from HackerRank. It's not much relevant to the job I applied if I'd say. It came with 10 mixed multi-choice Questions with typical cognitive Qs like from middle schools and some basic coding Qs, 4 coding problems. Most Qs were the same as already posted in other discussion boards. For example, one Q was about a father age with some information from son's age and father's life. Another was a physics speed and distance Q. The 4 coding Qs needed to read the API requirements, i.e. what the result format it needed?

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Fortinet (Ottawa, ON) in Sept 2022

      Interview

      Initial application step is to do leetcode. Needed to study leetcode first in order to solve the problem. If you don't learn it, you're gonna have a bad time. Not ideal for fresh grads

      Question 1

      Simple about me questions, then proceed to leetcode.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      The interview had two parts, written exam followed by an oral interview. The written exam was about 20 multiple choice questions and the rest were "many" coding questions (6 or 7 pages long). Then they asked about my resume, the project I am currently working on and the ones that I may like to work on in this company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Detailed questions about the projects that I had done more than 5 years ago, like the number of lines in the C codes I wrote for a project ! Or the number of functions that I had written for a C code 7 years ago... !
