They asked me mainly about POSIX multithreading (threads, mutexes, semaphores, etc.). Explain deadlocks How many locks do you need to create a deadlock? The take-home test had two questions. One was about multi-threading, a producer-consumer type problem. The other is about a timer framework where we have to find bugs in that code. Questions of the final interview hugely depend on your answers to that assignment.

Most questions are behavioral. Some ask you questions like 'what do you like and hate about the language you worked on'. To me thats a great question for them to gauge how much exposure you have to the language. Since I mentioned about webservices, I had questions on that. Again its not syntax based question, more like 'what you don't like about WCF services'
