What questions will be asked in an internship interview?

What questions were you asked on your NetApp interview for a software internship?

• And, how would you advise to prepare for it in advance?

• Answer:

  I depends on what team you are interviewing with. Usually the teams in NetApp work on lower level and/or device driver specific stuff. So most teams will expect you to know C or maybe C++. If your intern job would be in the QE/QA field, it helps if you know Perl. I interviewed and got hired with the SAN team. I had three projects on the Linux Kernel and a few projects about networking, needless to say, all the work was in C. * If you work on the kernel/OS you'll be asked at least one question on locking mechanisms (spinlocks, semaphores, mutexes), prepare for that. * They ask you about your projects and how you accomplished them. * There should be at least one question of implementing an algorithm in C (if you know C), also possibly an existing library function like strcpy or strcmp. * If you have networking projects, you should know about how TCP and UDP work, how TCP slow start, congestion avoidance, etc. work. The main thing is to know everything you've written on the resume and not BS it, because they will catch it. All the best.
