Total Hours Interviewed: 2 Interview Comments: Had two phone screens with the company. Submitted my resume through a college career fair. Explain virtualization, paging, multiple inheritance. How would you find if one string is a permutation of the other. The Die Hard bucket question. They seem super nitpicky about knowing little things, so really brush up on C++ and be able to definte popular concepts. |

Total Hours Interviewed: 1 Interview Comments: My understanding is that you go through the phone interview, then they fly you off to Cali for a day-long, on-site interview. There was some mixup with my 'recruiter.' The first time she contacted me to set up the interview, the interviewer never called. I sent an email to the person and nobody responded. I then get another email two weeks later from a different person asking to set up an interview. This time, I got to talk to someone. I realize it probably wasn't the interviewer's fault for the mixup or whatever it was, but they get zero for professionalism. The phone interview was very difficult. We mainly talked about memory management, shared memory segments, layout of C++ classes in memory, page tables, etc. Most of this I hadn't covered in a while and he caught me by surprise. The last question was a bit stupid; he asked what controls you could use to choose a color if you were designing a UI. Doh. I'm not really sure how to best prepare for this interview. You just really need to know your stuff well. They seemed harder than Google on the questions, which I guess is understandable given the nature of the product. |
