I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Applied Materials (New Delhi) in May 2022
Interview
It was good.first round from someone from India very helpful guy while I was solving ds array questions.
Second round was at late night with foreigner and he was also good but it's like they mainly focus a lot on multhithreading so be prepare for that.i was not selected in second round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Total 2 rounds.
First round array ds questions like remove duplicates from array, find peak element in rotated sorted array, binary search , second highest max no and then muthithreading questions like lock and how to remove deadlock. They focus a lot on multhithreading concepts.
Second round - struct class diff (silly question)
Deadlock theory and then write code to show deadlock , then two big codes where you have to guess the output and it's also on multhithreading. What is lock.
List and linked list diff
How Dictionary is implemented internally.
In second round I was not selected.but surely this one will help someone so be prepare for multhithreading questions and very easy ds questions.
