225 systems engineer ii interview questions shared by candidates
There were many questions related to my Systems Engineering experience and my experience working with engineers in a fast-paced and challenging work environment. There were also several "puzzle" questions asked like <you have 81 coins, 80 of the coins weigh weight W1, the other coin weighs weight W2, and W2>W1, what is the most efficient way of finding coin W2?> or <you have 3 doors, a prize is behind one door, pick a door, I tell you one of the doors the prize is not behind, do you stay with your initial door selection or switch to the other door and why?>
The Codility challenge included 2 problems to be done in 3 hours. While the first one focused on performance the second one focused on correctness. I think I did both of them near perfect. Most questions in the onsite (5 rounds) were simple and decent and if not of common sense (considering the role). Some went very deep into the Linux internals but nothing unreasonable (fork, execv, tlb, etc). Other questions were related to TCP/UDP/DHCP but quite trivial. The coding challenge was about implementing a hash using C++ templates and additional things were added to the problem as I solved it. It truly seems now to me the interviewer was trying to fail me or set the bar at an unreasonable level (for the position).
