      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Jan 15, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Sydney
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dolby (Sydney) in May 2012

      Interview

      I applied online. It starts with a phone screening and then followed by a face to face interview. The interviewers are nice and will try to guide you to the answer if you appear to be stuck. I think they are trying to see how you approach a problem. Other then technic questions they also want you to describe your previous project: it's architecture, technology used,...etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Mostly C++ related questions, memory allocation, inheritance, viable,... Etc. Some recursive algorithms, data structure, trees, and multithreaded programming
      Answer question
