Process

The first round is a 60-minute phone interview. There were no questions on my project, and almost all the questions were technical. The questions covered C++ algorithms, hardware FSMs, and computer architecture pipelines.

Questions

  1. Swap function: difference between pass by value and pass by reference.

  2. Fibonacci series. Two implementations: for loop and recursive.

  3. The usage of constants and constant functions.

  4. Detect sequence pattern in FSM.
