Process

The interview process was good. HR executives were very friendly.

First round was a written test. It consisted of 4 sections:

  • C programming (mainly Linux/process/fork, etc.)
  • English
  • Aptitude
  • 1 C program

The second round was a F2F technical interview that lasted for 50 minutes. They asked about basic bit operations, IPC mechanisms, linked list programs, memory allocation, etc.

The third round was again F2F. I was asked to implement memcpy.

The fourth round was an HR interview. They enquired about my previous hike, expected salary, and personal details.

I was asked to send salary details ASAP.

However, I was never contacted. After sending a gentle email, I still didn't get any reply. I didn't receive a rejection email either.

After some days, my friend who works there contacted me and updated me that I was not selected.

Questions

Implement one IPC with very limited resources.
