Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week.
There are 4 interview rounds. The 1st 3 are technical, and the final one is a managerial round.
All technical rounds focus on:
- pointers
- threads
- semaphores
- mutexes
- memory management
- debugging/output questions
DSA is a must.
Questions
Cache mechanism: if the cache is full, then what will happen? Dangling pointer Bitwise OR, AND, and XOR Producer consumer
