Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clarita, California
Process
I got my interview through the career fair at school. It took four basic questions on OS and coding, and then I got the interview.
There were two rounds of phone interviews.
The first one consisted of many basic C/C++ questions, as well as kernel/OS basics like semaphores, mutual exclusion, and memory allocation.
The second interview consisted of some leadership questions, such as how you manage your relationships with teammates or your projects or your work.
Questions
Describe mutual exclusion, how to implement it.
