Process
I only had two phone interviews and wasn't invited for an in-person one.
I had a few days in advance to plan for the interview and studied mostly C and general Linux. I did well on the few C questions they asked, but not so well on the OS questions. If I were to interview again, I would study Linux much more in-depth.
Questions
Explain what happens at the OS level when you type the 'ls' command into a Linux shell.
Compare and contrast an array and a linked list. Which operates faster in a loop? Why?
