"Name the thing you consider being your weakness/defect". This is a stupid HR question so they see how you think of yourself in a critical manner. But everybody knows they ask you this, so you either go with the strength-presented-as-a-weakness strategy or say something that makes you look bad. I was literally speachless for a minute because I consider this being an outdated, stupid question.

Apparently there were some questions that I answered incorrectly or inappropriately, but I never got the opportunity to find out which these were. I thought I did pretty well with the onsite interviews actually, and walked out feeling pretty confident. So it was a surprise that they chose not to make an offer. Technical questions included issues about program structure (main loop code versus ISR code), concurrency issues with respect to interrupted operations (crtitical sections and mutexes), timers, i2c, SPI and other interfaces, etc.
