Interview Details – I got the mail from HR requesting a phone interview. The interview was pretty standard, testing your basics in C and a bit in UNIX. The next day, I got an invitation for a second phone interview. This was also technical, more focused on testing skills on networking along with a few questions on my resume and a logical question.

Negotiation Details – Not much negotiation. The pay was good for an intern :)

phone 1 - pretty basic c questions - pointers , static var etc
phone 2 - basic quests on tree , linked list , some synchronization questions,mutiple reader writer question - ntn out of the ordinary .

linked list - insert into sorted LL
tree - find common ancestor in BST
some deadlock question , how to avoid .

Interview Details – Two phone interviews for the same job position. First interview-asked me questions on my project listed on my resume. Basic questions in C like difference between & and &&, memory regions like stack, heap, text, data segments. OS concepts-what is mutual exclusion? Difference between semaphores and mutexes? Asked me to code (in C)a function which takes the bit number of an output port as argument and toggles it.
Second interview-Did not discuss my resume at all. Dived straight into tech questions-What are interrupts and if you have less external interrupt pins on a processor, how to interface multiple interrupts? How do breakpoints in a C program work? How does a debugger work? Asked me to write a program(in C) to remove duplicate continuous characters in a string. Another way to find the sizeof and data type without using sizeof()?
The second interview was a bit difficult and didn't think I would make it. Sure enough I get an email from their HR saying they want to hire someone who closely matches the job description so I was not invited to the on-site interview.
