Process

I had a technical interview with one of the staff. I was asked the usual questions (that are mentioned on Glassdoor). Then, I was called by a manager for the onsite interview.

During my onsite, I had three interviews:

  • One technical interview (1.5 hours)
  • One HR interview
  • One manager interview

Technical Interview:

I was asked to find errors in C and C++ code. Questions included:

  • What is the difference between defining typedef struct and struct?
  • Write a sorting program.
  • Write a program to find a loop in a linked list.
  • What is the difference between calloc and malloc?
  • How do you read and write to a file in C? Many other basic C/C++ concepts were covered.

Matlab:

  • How do you write a class in Matlab?
  • How do you write a function in Matlab?

HR Interview:

Many general questions were asked, such as how to handle various situations.

Questions

Matlab questions were difficult.
