I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Xilinx in Mar 2009
Interview
The whole team and their manager (a director) had the 1:1 interview, it is obvious that there was no much preparation beforehand as there are quite some overlapping. The topic is broad, but not deep:
* what is class inheritance
* explain some design pattern
* what is MSVC experience
* explain some data structure
* what is career goal
There is one programming question, how to swap 2 nodes in a double linked list.
