Solicité el puesto a través de una agencia de empleo. El proceso duró más de 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Samsung Electronics (Londres, Inglaterra) en oct 2015
Entrevista
Applied via agency. First had phone conversation with one of their engineers. The guy was very friendly, told me about the job and the company. Then asked me some technical questions, very generic, about GPUs, OpenGL and some C++ related things. A week later I was invited for a f2f interview
During the interview first I had to do 1 hour test on C/C++. The test was on paper and I had to write some code. I found that 1 hour is a bit too short to answer all the questions. Questions though were pretty standard you may expect for C/C++ test (compare strings, deal with linked lists, pointer arithmetic, etc.) After that I had a chat with the R&D manager and an engineer. They were asking about my previous projects, my knowledge of computer graphics, OpenGL ES, Android and Linux kernel. The conversation was very friendly. As the last stage there was a talk with HR representative. She asked me standard 'HR' questions about my motivation, my strengths, difficulties I encountered working on my previous projects etc.
Unfortunately I could not see their work places of examples of the projects they are working on due to the IP concerns.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
- Difference between CPU/GPU?
- How do Linux interrupts work?
- Reason to compile Linux driver as a module or statically into the kernel?
The interview mainly focused on Data Structures and Algorithms. Most questions were from Graphs and Dynamic Programming, with graph problems involving BFS and related traversal techniques. The discussion emphasized problem-solving skills, algorithm optimization, and coding implementation.
Two interview rounds: an initial HR screening call, followed by a technical discussion with a Samsung employee, and a final HR round. Overall, the process was smooth, structured, and well-coordinated.

In person interviews, asked two leetcode easy questions but need to write code on paper. They focus a lot on your past experiences as well. Know the skills you put on your resume and you will be fine.
