Process

Hard interview. Questions delved deeply into operating system internals and obscure data structures.

There was a disconnect between what was posted on the listing and the actual interview questions. Other than the questions, the interviewers were nice and courteous.

If I had expected questions on object-oriented programming, I would have performed better.
