      Software Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Synopsys (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      Interviewed in person with about 3 people. One of them was a manager, and 2 engineers. Interview with the engineers went well, but the manager, who also asked me to write programs, didn't quite seem to understand the code. He asked about writing a program to find out the endianess of a machine. When he wasn't sure about the function, he asked "how else can you find out". I said the endianess is also defined in one of the system header files. He then asked "which one?", to which I replied "i don't the exact one, but perhaps machine.h or something like that. A find/grep would take a minute or so." He didn't seem to like the answer, or perhaps wasn't sure himself. In any case, I felt he tried to continue to ask questions just to come to one that I wouldn't be able to answer. He was truly a bad interviewer. The other engineers who were more technical didn't appear to be this way.

      I interviewed at Synopsys (Milan)

      Interview

      Il processo di selezione si è svolto in due fasi. Il primo colloquio è stato con l'HR manager e verteva principalmente su domande generali riguardo alle esperienze lavorative passate e allo stack tecnologico utilizzato. Il secondo colloquio era di natura tecnica con il manager del team. Durante i colloqui sono state discusse la composizione dell'attuale team di lavoro e le versioni di Angular utilizzate in azienda.
