Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Canada
Process
The first interview was with the team manager. It lasted 1.5 hours, with a roughly 50:50 split between technical and non-technical questions.
The second interview was an hour long and featured a ~75:25% split between a technical question and queries about my personal projects and past experience.
The third interview was 45 minutes and consisted of a non-stop onslaught of technical questions, ranging from caches and type representations to data structures, etc. After 45 minutes, the interviewer stated he had to stop due to the time limit. This interview was intense.
For the first interview, the skills and assets listed on the job posting were a very good representation of the expected questions. However, the second and third interviews required general computer engineering and system software knowledge.
Questions
Virtual Memory, multi-threading concepts, bits, syscalls, caches, compilation, etc.

- 4.0Personal Life is Out the Door!QA Engineer • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesAugust 26, 2008Pros: This is a very challenging place to be. Good culture, good innovation. Did I mention free food? Well, almost free. I liked this place up until the recent changes under a year ago. They really should reconsider the VPs who run the business units. Remove them and get back to the way things were a year ago. Now we're talking. :)Cons: Not all, but recent promotions of the VPs are flat out horrible. They lack the technical depth and leadership skills. It was not like this a year ago. The organization used to be flat with very little political games. Now it is layered.
