      Software Engineer Interview

      27 Nov 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer

      Application

      I interviewed at Symmetricom

      Interview

      Phone interview followed by on-site interview. Questions on C programming - finer details like bit manipulation, dynamic memory allocation, pointers etc. Was asked to write code for a very simple problem. Although solution was not difficult, interviewee is expected to think about worst case run times, cases where an exception will be thrown or result might not be computed correctly, and address them in the code.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions about specific network protocols.

      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Symmetricom in Jun 2010

      Interview

      stupid questions: why a C structure is smaller than a Type? what is the size of a structure? (in general? - stupid question) why you think you are a senior programmer? then some more rude questions that made me finish discussion early the general feeling was that the hiring manager did the best he could to keep candidates away from his chair how come people like these ever become hiring managers?
