I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
For the 1st onsite interview, I need to finish a written C-Test. It took about 90 minutes. Then, 2 senior engineers asked me some technical questions (C++, Java), and some algorithm questions.
For the 2nd onsite interview, I talked to 1 Director of RD and then a senior engineer. Same thing, C++/Java/Linked-list questions.
For the 3rd interview, I talked to their VP of RD. Some C++/Java/Algorithm questions, even let me answer 2 questions at home(since I don't know the answer during the interview).
But, it turned out, they still not giving me an offer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics in Jan 2008
Interview
The interview process was like a common on-campus interview, testing mostly the aptitude, communication and little technical skills. They looked for ppl who have the focus to stay with Samsung for long.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Varsovia, Mazovia) in Jun 2010
Interview
The first interview consisted of two parts. First (1/2 h) - one simple algorithmic problem to solve in the programming language of choice. The problem varies from interview to interview. Second (1 and 1/2 h) - bunch of programming language related questions. The questions are similar to Java Sun Tests (in case of Java). Strong OO knowledge is required.
