Google embedded SW interviews

I have google embedded SW interviews coming up. I have done about 70 LCs and some interviews with two companies lately. I have found that I have weakness in embedded related questions. How did you guys prepare for those embedded questions? Moreover, what is best resource I can look up for the Googleyness questions? Any tips would be appreciated :) TC: 170k

Just know C programming and standard RTOS scheduling, interrupts, register access, etc. Embedded is a crapshoot though for the std coding rounds. Ask your recruiter to be interviewed in C, but that didn’t stop one person from asking a Q which required hashmaps.

Thank you for your detailed tips! I am practicing leetcode questions with C++. Is C++ language for embedded position fine? I am using C and C++ for my job but C++ is easier when it comes to leetcoding since it has many std functions I can use

Yes use C++ if you’re comfortable, just be familiar with low level concepts for the domain interview
