Viasat Software Engineer interview questions

The entire proces moves very fast and they make decision within 24 hours after the on site interview. People were nice, interview questions are easy.

The initial phone screen consisted of questions regarding the use of interrupts, what a RTOS meant, UML usages, software design process. The onsite wasn't that aggressive, standard C and C++ type questions, if you've prepared it wouldn't be a problem, what's a volatile variable, how is it used, the use of static, C++ access specifier. Whiteboard problems consisted of implementing strcat, create a function that would shift an 8bit lower nibble with the upper nibble. It wasn't nothing terribly complicated. Other than the hiring manager, everyone seemed ill prepared and was basically reading off the information from my resume. The campus and environment seemed very nice. The employees I spoke too seemed stress free.
