*Note interview wasn't particularly difficult, but I marked difficult due to the amount of time the entire process took. It was refreshing that they really didn't overdo it on behavioral questions deceptively good interviewers can lie their way through. It was mostly just a normal back and forth conversation about my work, and the company. I was asked by one of the engineers how an EEPROM works, like the physics of it. It was a writing job, but he knew my degree was in Computer Engineering, even though I graduated 10 years ago, he wanted to probe my mind to see what I remembered.
