Interviewed Mar 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Hi i was interviews for Software Engineer role in Juniper Networks, Bangalore.
My Profile : 3.5yrs of Exp in Java , J2EE, Struts and 4Months of Exp in ExtJs.
I was called by the company HR as she found my resume on the job portal.
initially they had setup the telephonic round with Senior Engineer Manger. and below are few question i faced.
1.Explain the Data Structure Model. ?? Why did it evolve.
2.Explain Tree.
3. Traversal of Tree Structure, He asked some in-order traversal of nodes and an example.
4. Write the complete code implementation of the In-order traversal. (Though i explained the pseudo-code, he insisted on the complete code in java. :( . i was not completely efficient in writing it down and convey entire thing on phone ). i explained the recursive algo for this.
5. Next came the Puzzles and Problem solving questions. :)
a. Find the repeating element in a given array and number of times it is repeated. I did gave a good answer (use hashmap and counter the value for key) for this quesion but again he wanted a complete code for this explained on phone. :(
b. 10 bag of gold coin, where 1 bag has a defective ones. find the odd ones using the balance machine only once. (i did not give a good answer here)
c. Some question on double matrix (dont remember it)
d. Prove that the number between prime pair is always divisible by 6 (i did not even gave a approach for this)
Overall it was a good experience, No question were asked related to Java Language or concepts blah blah..
Prepare well for the puzzle and DS and Algos and u can do well in it.
best of luck,
Punith

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took a day)
Was referred for this opening by a friend. A senior engineer on the team contacted me and set up a phone interview that lasted about half an hour. The conversation was mostly focussed on previous project experience and the technologies used in those projects. The interviewer asked questions regarding differences between switching and routing, layer 2 switching, layer 3 switching, VLANs etc. Went into more detail on VLAN - fields in the VLAN header, function of each field, number of VLANs that can be supported etc. Also asked questions about SIP and H.323 and comparison between the two.
