      Software Engineer - Platform Infrastructure/Embedded Interview

      Aug 28, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Pune
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Pune) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      Quite slow and mismanaged process. Applied through career section in May, received a mail in June to go through online c test. Silence for more than a month. In mid july got a call from hr for remote tele-presence interview based in c test result. It was 4 hour discussion with 4 different members (including hiring mamager) without any break. One of the interviewer was yawning and sleepy, another two were quite cold in their behavior. No response thereafter even hr did not respond when asked for feedback. Quite unprofessional behavior

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      C test: 2 set of functions to implement in C within 1.5 hrs. Not very difficult if you are a regular hands-on programmer Interview questions: low level firmware steps to implement data acquisition using 8 channel ADC. How ADC works? How to implement firmware update scheme? How to differentiate valid binary image and malicious one (hint: use signature authentication)? Some irrelevant questions like: how will you implement sudoku in C, logic to implement VI editor How will you recover if a process is crashed while holding a mutex and another process is waiting on it (this is very specific to OS and linux solves this using concept of "robust mutex") what are some of the challenging problems you have solved, explain projects
