Candidate-reported interview process

Met a representative at a career fair, and it went well when I told him about my interest/experience in dealing with networks. As we were talking he put a star on my resume, which led to being invited for an interview. All the interview questions he can ask are already posted on Glassdoor, so make sure to check all of them out. The interviewer only expects that you spend all 45 minutes on one question (vercmp), but if you practice, you can answer more (I fully coded/answered 3 within that time). However my vercmp wasn't able to work in time, so that's probably why I didn't get the offer.

It was an on-campus interview. We started with introductions and then immediately moved to coding. There were 2 coding questions, and I had an hour to complete them. The coding had to be done in the Vim editor, which was a bit inconvenient.

It was an on-campus interview. The process involved a single coding question where I had to SSH into a server, use a provided makefile and test cases, write a function in C, and then test it. This whole thing took about 40 minutes.
