Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Telephonic interview was about basic PD flow as this opening was for PD A.E. The interviewer asked few basic questions on CTS and few questions on si and crosstalk.
The skype interview was quite good, the interviewers were technically very strong, and questions asked were not straight forward. Most of the questions were on CTS in the end he asked a very nice puzzle to test my reasoning.
