It took 4 hours to complete the interview
Questions
There were two rounds of technical interview. As panel felt, I didn't do well, they didn't continue with me. I felt questions asked for manager position is not relevant
They have mentioned C++ and C# in JD. But they are focusing on data structures, and OS internals. Even through second round was called as design round, they never asked me about OOAD. Even in second round they are more focusing data structure, threads, timing diagram
I don't know how much of these questions still relevant today. Modern languages like C#/C++ already implements linked list, dictionary data structure. Freshers can answer on data structure topic. But that too questions are not straight forward

The company is the market leader in wafer inspection technology and productivity solutions in the semiconductor industry.Cons: Global support division consistently has senior management turnover every few years which completely changes the organization's goals, objectives, and priorities. Unfortunately, expectations and priorities are often poorly communicated from senior management to middle management and individual contributors. Politics versus objective data/information seems to drive decisions in a significant number of cases. This division also doesn't especially encourage a collaborative culture.
