Interview Details –
Initial screening 1:1 on campus with an on-site follow-up. Standard interview except for the presentation.
30 minute presentation, full-day interview with several groups. The interview was well organized and efficient.
Questions covered essential programming concepts. Typical OO and C/C++ questions. Focus areas were in optimization, multi-threaded, OO, bit level manipulations, low-level architecture and peripheral access, various system buses, I/O throughput estimates, and instrument calibration algorithms.
Interview Question – Most unexpected: Assuming a system response is monotonic, describe how one could implement a binary search algorithm to optimize convergence at a particular point. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Negotiate high with Agilent as raises are a pain. Agilent is not keeping up with industry.
Other Details - I applied through campus recruiting and the process took 2 days.
