Process

First of all, they have an intensive analytical exam conducted by PROMETRIC. This exam will contain a relatively easy technical test as well. This is the toughest part of the process. If you clear the exam, then half the work is done. The exam is on par with CAT.

Then comes the technical interview, focusing on skills like C, data structures, OS concepts, and networking.

McAfee is a very good company if you want to work in development. I regret missing my opportunity as I was very tensed and spoiled the interview, as it was my first one ever. So, be cool and crack it!

Questions

Simple Qs on usage of switch, Linked List, and some good puzzles.
