      Linux Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 10, 2009
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Aug 2009

      Interview

      I only had two phone interviews and wasn't invited for an in-person. I had a few days in advance to plan for the interview and studied mostly C and general Linux. I did well on the few C questons they asked but not so well on the OS questions so if I were to interview again, I would study Linux much more in-depth.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Explain what happens at the OS level when you type the 'ls' command into a Linux shell.

      Question 2

      Compare and contrast an array and a linked list. Which operates faster in a loop? Why?
