Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Algorithms. Data structures. Puzzles.
They wanna check your way of solving problems
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Movidius (Timişoara) in Oct 2015
Interview
3 quick sessions in separate days. The interviewer presented Movidius in the first session. Session 2 was for evaluation. Session 3 was for salary negotiation.
They are asking in general about conceptual things, like how does a VLIW architecture works, how does a software or hardware breakpoint works, why an microcontroller consumes more on higher frequency. They were also asking some logic questions. You also have a high chance of encountering makefiles or ldscripts questions.
One thing to note is that no answer is a bad answer if you explain it, and if your logic is good. This is actually what is tested. So don't choke, just put your ideas on the table.

Question 1
Why a micro-controller consumes more on higher frequency?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Movidius (San Mateo, CA) in May 2015
Interview
This process was reasonably well organized and fairly prompt. One notable thing is that there was actually a response from HR after submitting a resume through their website; that is highly unusual these days. The process entailed that screen followed by a phone screen with the hiring manager. The hiring manager made himself readily available to match my schedule, an indication of the company's interest in spending time to find the right talent to fill the position. There was clearly a lot of enthusiasm about the company's prospects and a great deal of openness about the company's challenges. As they are in a highly competitive market with rapidly changing technologies this openness was important and appreciated.
