      Real-time Software Engineer Interview

      23 Dec 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emerson in Dec 2014

      Interview

      Had a 1/2 hour phone screen - a little tough, but nothing unusual Then, the on-site interview - From 8:15 in morning to 4:45 in afternoon. They did take me to a nice lunch for about an hour. They did a lab/building tour (nice), and overall I interviewed with 7 people each for about 1/2 hour, though with the hiriing manager twice, so 1 hour total with him (Brandon). Unfortunately, due to the work they do (they require a week long background check if I'd been selected), they wouldn't give me much information on their software except at a very high level. Lots of technical questions (nothing wrong about that, just *lots* of them). Also, lots of coding exercises, 4 on a laptop, and at least 10-20 on paper. Also, lots of "what's wrong with this code" questions. The usual people questions like - what's your greatest weakness? When was a bad experience you had and how did you deal with it? What assignment did you dislike the most, and why?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The ones that I struggled with were the puzzle questions Apparently my son said everyone at school (college) knows about one I was asked, but I hadn't heard it. Another one I struggled with, mainly because of the time pressure was math calculation questions - haven't done this type of stuff since college, long ago. Also, thought experiment - how to find out X number of things in the US (not something easily researhed or googled).
