I applied online. I interviewed at Adaptec (Katy, TX) in Sep 2020
Interview
I reached out to the manager on google hangout and that’s where the interview took place. Interview was easy and quick. I was asked many questions and answered them efficiently through text. This process was different but I enjoyed the interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adaptec (Milpitas, CA) in Apr 2010
Interview
process took about two weeks. Initally over the phone, then a fly out to meet hiring team. full day of interviews was exciting and challenging - back to back full schedule. offer came a couple days after in person interviews
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adaptec (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
Phone call tested the basic programming /C questions (Structs, constructs) Nothing much about the resume but depends on who takes the interview, if a Manager then will ask about the course work and resume related questions
Onsite was less than a week later - Mostly questions relating to stated resume and basic programming concepts. Not a tough interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Struct traversal would be the the toughest question
