4,487 software engineer graduate interview questions shared by candidates

They gave me a written test to complete, both for software and hardware. Then I had a couple of interviews. They asked technical and specific questions both hardware (difference between blocking and non-blocking assignment, buses, critical paths) and software (XML, how to order an array in ascending order). They also asked me how would I solve some given problem in a comfortable (to me) programming language. The atmosphere was good and friendly anyway.

The Islands question (which was called the Submarine question) - you get a matrix of size m x n, with either 0 or x in it. A submarine is a place where one x or more form a shape of a sqaure or a rectangle. For example, these all include only one submarine: 0 x x 0 0 0 0 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 0 x x x x 0 0 x 0 0 x Return the number of submarines in the matrix.
