There was not a lot of technical background in some of the questions. It seems to be a lot of questions based on culture and whether or not you would fit in their workplace. They will teach you everything you need to know. I came in out of college so they probably don't think that you know anything about their flavor of engineering. I had some previous experience based on internships which helped.

The role play was the most difficult. I had to "troubleshoot" an issue with two engineers acting as whomever I needed to invoke. They could serve as my manager and answer questions; the field service engineer who could provide details; and really anybody else I needed.

One of the questions that stood out the most to me was the mental exercise of designing a stapler. About half of the interview was spent on the stapler. This caught me off guard because I expected the questions to be more directly related to lighting systems and possibly some home automation since that is what the company produces. In hindsight, I can see that the question was intended to show ones ability to think through a process and solve problems along the way.
