Process
Applied through college.
Just one on-campus interview with two interviewers, both Technical Leads.
- General C questions (bit manipulations, low-level concepts).
- Asked a lot about my project since it was in networking.
- Behavioral questions: How do you avoid conflict? Why should we hire you?
Nothing very difficult. I got the response in 3 days that I was selected.
