Motorola Mobility Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

So I got a call from HR initially, then I had a first screening round. A week later, HR called me again for a Technical face-to-face interview. The face-to-face tech interview actually had 2 rounds. The first round involved 2 DSA questions from LeetCode, one easy and one medium. The second interview round had 1 hard level DSA question and 1 system design question. Overall, it was a great experience, but I wasn't selected in the end.

I applied and about a month later, a recruiter contacted me to arrange a screening interview. After passing that, two technical rounds were set up. The first interviewer was great, asking technical questions and providing helpful hints while clearly knowing what they were looking for. However, one of the interviewers in the technical rounds seemed uninterested, with background noise and general quietness during the session. I followed up for an update, but they mentioned they were still interviewing candidates. About two months post-interview, I received a rejection.

I applied online and a technical recruiter reached out. Then I had 5 technical interviews. The first one focused on technologies on my resume, asking about javascript, jquery, and java, plus a SQL query and string reversal coding question. The second interview delved into my academic projects and experience, and involved coding a longest prefix finder for strings. In the third interview, which was a bit rough, I was asked for a SQL query and a stack implementation. The interviewer insisted on C, even though I'm better at Java, and had me reverse an integer array using the stack. There were also questions on semaphores and the TCP 3-way handshake. After that, the recruiter changed. The fourth interview was strange; the interviewer was 15 minutes late and gave two coding questions without much explanation, requiring me to make assumptions. I wrote the code without comments and they accepted it, with minimal interaction. The fifth interview was the most engaging, purely technical. I was given a problem, asked to figure out the right data structure, and then implement it, with the interviewer guiding me with hints when needed. The first recruiter was nice, but the second was disorganized, rude, and unprofessional.
