Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Difficult Questions : Cache Snooping,How do you solve Priority Inversion and Dead locks,what is vfork, kmalloc ,
Programming Questions : Find a substring in a given string, I gave O(n2),they asked me improve to O(n) and so on. How will implement virtual functions(c++ style) in C. How can you generate a v-table ?
Unexpected/Silly/Stupid Questions : They gave some incorrect code snippet and asked you to correct it . Most of the errors were like in a for loop to traverse a char of 10 byets the loop will be for( i =0 ;i < = 10;i++) and then u correct it to i <10 . Like really silly stuff.
I was expecting some algorithmic incorrect stuff ,but they were looking for syntax errors, what don't they have a smart IDE like eclipse or VS 2012 or wut :P
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NetApp (Bengaluru) in Apr 2026
Interview
First round was general discussion on kubernetes, current job work, asked a fan in scenario in go. DSA was asked only to explain the approach, about 2 linked list chained to a common list get intersection node without using hash
Second round was supposed to be design, but was asked managerial and behavioral type questions.
Post that over a weeks, no reply. Then update in portal.
First round is the online assessment where there will be 3 coding questions and mcqs
mcqs on core cs concepts and then the interview rounds vary based on you performance
As when it came to our campus they didn't mention the role. The provided jd mentioned there are mutliple roles
And so the rounds based on your fit to different roles
