Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cranberry, Pennsylvania
Process
Applied through a career fair on campus.
HR contacted me via email to schedule an initial phone interview. The questions were straightforward, focusing on OS concepts, and I was asked to debug code.
I heard back in a couple of days and was invited for an on-site interview at their Cranberry office. The staff were very amicable and extremely friendly.
There were four interviews in all:
- Three technical interviews.
- One interview with the manager, based on my resume.
All the interviews were pretty standard, covering OS concepts, code debugging, writing code, OOPs concepts, and design.
I heard back in three weeks and received an offer via mail.
The process took about a month. It was a positive experience.
Questions
Condition variables in POSIX threads.
Some questions about height-balanced trees like AVL trees and Red-Black trees.
Nothing out of the blue.

NetApp Work Experiences
- 4.0Good, not great, but still with potentialSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeCranberry, Pennsylvania, United StatesFebruary 27, 2014Pros: It's a pretty comfortable environment. The engineering organization is full of good, smart people, who generally want to do the right thing. Senior leadership is pretty good.Cons: It's become a fairly mature company, with some legacy baggage. A lot of people have gotten comfortable and are content to run on autopilot, not doing the best work they are capable of. Communication between groups could be better (though, really, it is probably better or on par with most organizations of its size).
