Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts
Process
The first step was a short HR-type interview where you are asked questions (using an automated voice), and your answers are recorded. That's very easy to pass.
Then comes the 40-minute technical interview where you are asked rapid-fire questions on math, programming concepts, and languages (I chose C, C++, and Java). Almost 90% of the questions were pretty standard; you'll find them all here on Glassdoor.
However, I was also asked a few different questions (especially in C++), so prepare that well. These related to constructors, destructors, virtual functions, inheritance, OOPs concepts, etc.
In Java, another new question was: What is a package, and explain how to use it.
Questions
I had some questions related to private constructors, which I can't recall exactly. However, I finally answered that I really don't know.
