Software Engineer Interview Experience - Shanghai, Shanghai
Process
There was a written test before the interview, followed by four interviewers in turn. Each of them focused on a specific area. I think the first was the hardest, and the latter ones were better.
They talked about some Cisco device-related techniques that I didn't know about, but it was okay.
Questions
Questions about OS, low-level C coding, and how to implement a memory management mechanism in pure C language.
