      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 13, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Jose, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Brocade (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2012

      Interview

      The interview was for a developer position in the switch group. Contacted by internal recruiter. Initial phone screen with the hiring manager. Interview was non-technical, pretty straight forward, simple questions (what I did in my current job, what I know, what I want to do, etc). Was invited for a face-to-face interview at the company site. Interview questions consisted of protocol knowledge, and some c-interview questions (queues, locks, etc), not too difficult ones. As for the members of the team, I did not get a warm feeling from most of them, no "get to know you" talk, hardly any smiles, very dry and non-personal. Did not sense any excitement from them about their job or technology. Maybe because most of them has been there 8+ yrs. I was told by the hiring manger she/Brocade would get back to me within a few days with a decision. Lets just say, I sent a few emails (to recruiter and hiring manger), left voice mails, finally heard back from them after three weeks. Status - the hiring manger is still looking at other candidates and would get back to me "soon" and thanked me for my patience. Btw, this is week four. :) I think I should take the hint by now. lol. To recap, I was very disappointed with the whole interview process. Did not get opportunity to get to know member of team on a personal level.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basic question about stacks, queues, multi-core programing, FC protocol basics (login related).

      1st round was written. It included aptitude, technical and coding questions. Written test was difficult. next were face to face interviews. The panel was interested in the work done in the previous company and the issues faced there. I was tested on programming skills along with the knowledge of protocols. It was a nice experience.
