      R&D Software Engineer Interview

      28 Nov 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Abbott

      Interview

      Confusing process. Set up an interview, assuming it was an introductory meeting with HR, but ended up being a technical interview with the hiring manager. Job posting was for a software engineer position, but about half of the questions were focused on physics and electrical engineering concepts. While the concepts were familiar and not too difficult, I was certainly not prepared and the job posting should have made this much more clear.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is speed? What is acceleration? Describe Ohm's law. Difference between struct and class.
      Answer question
