Systems Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
The interview process was a bit messed up. The first person I was supposed to meet did not show up for about half an hour.
Then the second person was called, and the first person just barged in to say sorry without caring if I really acknowledged it. People then showed up in a random order, not what was given on the schedule.
Anyway, I talked from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Questions
-
Some memory mapping question (figure out the issue). There was some flag that made the memory sharable.
-
Memory aligning to some boundary (n-2, 3, 4...).
-
Implement a mutex in assembly.
-
Copying stuff to SD card (on a network) and problems related to that.
