Interview
A phone interview was set up and questions about my research work was asked. Just couple of questions on static and volatile keywords.
Onsite interview was with 5 teams and all of them were coding questions. standard C questions on linked list, function pointers, priority inversion and so on. One guy asked Math puzzles, I struggled a bit after constant coding. But i picked up towards the end

Question 1
Math puzzles were simple, but my brain was tuned in complex thinking and switching to simple mode was bit difficult
