Solicité el puesto a través de la escuela superior o la universidad. El proceso duró 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Garmin (Manhattan, KS) en sept 2012
Entrevista
Interviewed with 2 groups - Marine and Aviation. First was with one guy, then two. Each went through a lot of questions about my experience/studies, then went onto more technical questions. The also asked a lot about what I would like to be doing, which looking back I probably was too specific about. They want people to do low-level machine code/C, and I felt more comfortable with high-level Java/C#. I had experience with low-level, just not as much.

Had a piece of paper with some code on it that would print a line, you had to describe the line, then point out problems with the code and how to make it better. There was a error in the for loop where it ended with a semicolon (like for (......); ) that was just to see if you were paying attention. They also wanted you to point out to make it more efficient (replace the calls to power()) and to conserve memory. (aviation)
Quick phone call asking the regular questions like tell me about yourself, why Garmin, etc. Then the coding interview, which in my personal opionion it was hard. They had all different types of coding problems, and unfortunately I got the hardest one.

Entrevista
Terrible. I've interviewed here twice now. The HR department will ghost you and the interviews themselves contain lots of frivolous questions. It's clear they don't respect their applicants very much at all. Very unprofessional.
