      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 19, 2009
      Anonymous employee
      San Bruno, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IronPort Systems (San Bruno, CA) in Jul 2007

      Interview

      Interview consisted of a 30-minute phone screen with both organizational and technical questions, followed by two half-day interviews. The half-day interviews consisted of 4-5 sessions of 45 minutes each, one-on-one. About 3/4 were engineering/technical interviews, and the remaining with management (including one senior manager). Interviews are generally quite professional. Technical content varies from simple engineering problems to light computer science. Interviews with managers were largely character-oriented, and balanced with "pitching" the job. This was, however, during a more employer-competitive time.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Demonstrate how you would perform insertions into a binary tree in a thread-safe manner.
      Answer question

      Question 2
