Symmetricom Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Started with an human resource phone interview. The human resource lady collected all the necessary data. Then she arranged a technical interview with hiring manager. He asked some simple questions related to C basics(volatile, priority inverse etc). Then he asked my availability for onsite interview. Then they changed their mind and put a couple of more phone interviews. (suspicious). One was again with technical guy and the other was with director. Then finally decided to invite for an onsite interview.

Interview Details – Interview process in fast. For a Technician job, they asked you about schematics diagrams, board components, test equipment.

Reason for Declining – Other candidates would really appreciate relevant details that affected your decision.

Interview Details – it was easy and had to give 2 phone interview for summer intern position.

Interview Details – I was originally contacted by the Intern Coordinator and then connected with my Hiring Manager, who eventually was my manager, and the two writers on staff. The questions mainly concerned my impending degree, my plans for after the summer (grad school) and my experience at former internships. We also discussed the period in which I was available to work and the benefits offered to interns (relocation package and housing stipend).

Interview Details – each interview experience was neutral to positive, however the number of starts and stops and the length of time it took the company to make a final decision was not at all positive - 8 months is extraordinary.

Interview Details – 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.
