I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HARMAN in Nov 2015
Interview
Very unprofessional individuals interviewed me.
I had cleared the first round of interview which was for the role of infotainment engineer. First round was C programming F to F interview which went fine. Second round was handled very badly by an ignorant person who was not knowledgeable. He asked question about C++ design pattern. I told him I know about singleton and factory design pattern. I explained to him the singlet on design pattern. He argued with me that static members which are private cannot be initialized outside the class using scope resolution operator as (className: :member name = <Value>). I explained to him that was the only way to initialize static variables but the interviewer argued that we should initialize it inside the class only and my answer was wrong!!
Next he asked what is constant keyword in pointers and its different variations.
I answered as :
const char *c and char const *c have the same effect and mean that the pointed to character or string is constant where as the pointer itself is not constant and can be made to point to some other character or string.... Char *const c means the pointed to char can be changed where as the pointer should be constant.
The interviewer told that the answer was wrong and to verify it at home!! He told that const char* c and char const* c are completely different. He then stopped the interview and told that they are looking for candidate with higher experience and told that I will not fit in the team requirement and asked me to leave!! I verified all his wrong statements in the interview. Such unprofessional and low knowledgeable individuals work at Herman which is quite a shame...

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HARMAN (Bengaluru) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was supposed to have two technical rounds.
But got eliminated in first round.
Was asked five questions in total, answered all five, and according to interviewer 3 were wrong. Went home and did my research in Stackoverflow, geeksforgeeks, wikipedia etc. Only one was wrong, that too partially wrong.
All questions were silly, and elementary, and I was shocked that the senior engineer who took my interview was talking so bluntly, without giving any logical reasons to why my answers were wrong. He simply kept on insisting it was wrong.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the size of any empty class (not difficult, but unexpected, because it was so easy)
