Process

  1. Phone Interview:
  • Approximately 30 questions regarding C, C++, threading, processes, and Linux. The questions were not very difficult. I had a few doubts about 2-3 questions.
  • Received feedback within two days, and they wished to proceed with a face-to-face interview.
  1. Face-to-Face Interview:
  • The interview went very smoothly. I met with two technical interviewers: one mid-level and one senior.
  • The interview process was quite smooth, but the communication felt largely one-way. I presented solutions, and they seemed uncertain about their own discussions.
  • The questions prepared by the junior engineer seemed poorly constructed. He struggled to grasp my explanations and appeared to seek approval from the senior interviewer throughout the process.

Overall, I believe I performed very well in C++, well in C, and acceptably with TCP/IP software application structure.

The questions covered C/C++, threading, processes, and Linux, similar to the phone interview. The interview lasted 1.5 hours.

As the recruiter mentioned it should have lasted 3 hours and involved meeting three different groups of people, it seems the interview did not go as well as anticipated for me.
