Hi, I was recently interviewed at VMware(Carbon Black Division) for their Pune, India office.

Background
Status : 2.1 years experience in software development
Position : Software Engineer at a product based organisation
Location : Hyderabad

Timeline/Details:
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and scheduled two technical rounds after 4 days.

Technical Round 1 :

First 10 minutes a general discussion about my education and work experience.

1. Related to OOP concepts like encapsulation, abstraction and give an example for each.
2. What are smart pointers? How do they work?
3. Implement your own shared and unique pointer. This went on as a discussion rather than DSA question. He kept on changing few things like what happens if its a multi threaded environment, how will you synchronize , what data will you protect, etc.

Then he told me about the role and asked if I had any questions.

15 minutes break.

Technical Round 2 :
Again, first 10 minutes about my work experience and projects I have worked on.

1. Questions related to C :- how free works, when will malloc fail, memory layout of C, how shared objects are linked to a program.
2. Questions related to OS :- Threads and processes difference, how system call works, static and dynamic linkage, IPC methods.
3. Then he gave me two coding questions on a hackerrank code pair:
   a) Given a linked list and two integers m and n. Find the sum of nodes m and n from last.
   b) Move all occurances of a character in a string to the end of the string. Eg. - LeetCode, e -- LtCodeee

It's been a week and I haven't heard back from them..
