      Software Engineer Interview

      11 Jan 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Migdal Ha`Emeq
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KLA (Migdal Ha`Emeq) in Jan 2010

      Interview

      I had actually two interviews, one at the Technion during their demonstration and one at the company site. The first one was very theoretical and very easy, few questions about OOP, what is abstract class, how do I use it, describing UML calss diagram of my example, why do I need to hold pointers to the abstract class in the list and not objects, where do I use virtual functions, do I know singleton and how to implement it. The second interview was more difficult and talked mostly about synchronization and client-producer problems. The questions there were very unclear, they wanted me to tell what can be the problems and how I could solve them. During the interview few times they told me wrong things and some times tried to push me in the wrong direction after I did give them correct aswres! I felt that the situation is not under my control, although I do know the matterial and give correct answers... So, I think the problem was rather with the way of the interview. After all, few times I showed them they don't know all the things and that they say wrong things and this I think wasn't too clever:)

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Here I will refer only to the second interview because the first one was really trivial. 1) You have a plate with areas, some of them must be checked and the order of the check is given. Your maching has three operations: move to the cell, aquire the image, measure the image. How can you do it as efficiently as possible
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Suppose, aquisition is much slowlier, what should be the k? How many threads? and if verse vise? (here they also told me something wrong, they said that hardware is always slowlier than software and I told them that it is wrong!!!)
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      They asked me, based on function int SQRT(int) build function float SQRT2(int) that will return square root with three digits after the point.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at KLA (Singapore) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      HR started a friendly call and email interview set-up with the hiring team in a week. But from there, everything went downhill. HR asked for my past payslips in the beginning and I wasn't even interviewed yet. It was the first redflag. Then, HR gets quiet after receiving my expected salary. The interview itself was the worst. The interviewer was distracted, kept thinking and mumbling about her meetings. She was not a true software engineer because she couldn't accept that there can be multiple solutions to a problem.
