Software Engineer - Wireless Business Unit Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I mailed my resume to the interviewer after seeing his job post on Facebook.
He called me the next day to check my skills in C and Networking, as per the requirement.
The phone call lasted about 20 minutes. As I was not well-prepared, I couldn't do the interview well.
Questions
Questions on my academic projects:
- C (data types, recursive functions, pointers, dynamic memory allocation)
- Data Structures (linked lists)
- OS (threads, synchronization, mutex, semaphore, segmentation fault)
- Basic networking (differences between TCP & UDP, switches, routers)
