I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Hughes Network Systems in Oct 2014
Interview
Since I forgot when I applied to this position (maybe in University Recruiting), I don't know the process time. HR contacted me, and I had a phone interview three days later. The interviewer is very nice. I introduced myself and told him the skills used in some projects. Then began with the interview process. He asked some basic software questions, such as variable type and bubble sort. He also asked me about some knowledge in Internet Protocol and Wireless Networking, such as TCP/IP, UDP, socket programming and TDMA/CDMA/FDMA. He also asked my visa type. The conversation took about 40 minutes.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Hughes Network Systems (Germantown, TN) in Oct 2020
Interview
Good interview process. However, the company ghosted after the interview (4 hours). After repeated emails, they sent a reject after 3 months. Asked ML question in the entry-level SE position
Phone Interview with an engineer. The interview is mainly on C questions even though I was ready for an interview on Java questions. The interview started with somewhat easy questions like unions and structs in C and went all the way to resource sharing and multi-threading. It was a 30 minutes phone interview.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hughes Network Systems (Germantown, MD)
Interview
Phone screen, technical phone screen, on-site interview with 4 different managers. Each manager seemed to be from a different department and looking for different things - anywhere from low level programming experience and bit manipulation to web development.
Flown out and put in a hotel on their dime with other expenses like food and taxi/car paid for. Heard back within 2 weeks of the on-site interview. Very impersonal process. Met with HR to go over benefits and was "locked" in a meeting room for four hours with hiring managers rotating out. Benefits weren't very good.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple programming questions (ex. print out numbers divisible by 3), design questions (odd for an entry level position), bitwise operations, resume and project questions.
