The 1st round consisted of question on I2C, SPI protocol. Wrt to C, there were questions on significance of volatile, static keywords. Also there was a program to add and delete a node to linked list. You are asked to execute on pc. Better run in one shot, without warning or error.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have a very clear understanding of Volatile keyword and cache. You can find the answers on stackoverflow website
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dell Technologies in Apr 2014
Interview
Dell internal recruiter found me via social media. Applied, and had great first round interview over the phone with the hiring manager. Was invited to interview in Round Rock with several people. This is where it got extremely weird. There were people on the interview schedule who weren't in that particular day, and other people were substituted with short notice. While the face-to-face with the hiring manager was scheduled for 45 minutes, it lasted eight minutes and sort of felt the bums rush.
Worst of all was the complete and absolute stonewalling/radio silence after the conclusion of the interview. No feedback, no nothing. After several attempts to re-connect, I gave up and moved on. This is not the way to treat professionals.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Herndon, VA) in May 2014
Interview
Applied online and was contacted the next day by HR. Scheduled for phone interviews, first with two future co-workers and then with my future manager and his manager. Co-workers were friendly and asked detailed technical questions. Future manager and his manager, though, were not so friendly and may have put me through a stress interview. After the second interview, HR dropped me like a ball and never contacted me to let me know the status, despite Dell's commitments to treating interviewees well. I would not interview with Dell again.
