I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EchoStar (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2012
Interview
It was well-organized. There were six candidates and we were brought in for breakfast before being split up into two groups - one group had their interviews while the other was given a tour of the facilities. Lunch followed with the team and the groups were switched, after which we were given a small product demonstration, an overview of the benefits offered, before we were let go for the day.
My interview in itself was based on my resume for the most part, with some C code analysis thrown in.
I'm still waiting on their decision to be made.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was there a time where you were required to work on behalf of other members of your team?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EchoStar (Englewood, CO) in Feb 2016
Interview
I sat in with a group of four other engineers for about an hour and a half. The team all took turns asking questions about the experiences I listed in my resume and my knowledge on abstract data structures such as the heap and the stack. They also asked me about my knowledge in C, including evaluating a macro. Following that, they gave me some sample code written in C and asked me to see what was wrong with the code. There was one whiteboarding problem at the end.
