Search glassdoor. PE doesn’t change questions.

OP - how did it go?

FireEye February27 OP Mar 28, 2019

Didn't go well. I expected so as I am not experienced with that line of work. Need to know Linux kernel in depth, just theoretical knowledge won't suffice. Have to be familiar with troubleshooting tools as well.

Sorry to hear that, did you had to code anything?

FireEye February27 OP Mar 28, 2019

No, the systems round only focus on Linux troubleshooting

Anthem cba@t$-6 Mar 28, 2019

I mean during the interview process, did you had to code anytime? May be during phone screens or other onsite rounds.

FireEye Shukla Mar 28, 2019

First round was coding

Leetcode style? If so, how’s the difficulty? Appreciate your response!
