I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Samsung Research America (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn. One phone IV with team lead, then onsite in Bay Area. There were five interviews. All asked mostly questions about my work, and some basic programming questions. All grilled me on register allocation. If you work in a specialized field, don't expect to be treated like a new grad. Research the subject matter outside of your bubble at work and things will go more smoothly. Make sure you can generalize without referring to your team's specific data structures.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have a dump of last 48 kb of instruction memory (not necessarily instruction-aligned, but ends at the last instruction). 16b instructions start with 0, 32b instructions start with 1. How to decode this?
The interviews were quite unstructured. The role was very vague and the expectations were unclear. The feedback after interviews didn't match to what was asked at the interview, so it felt like a waste of time.
