I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Broadcom (Bengaluru) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process comprised of 3-4 rounds with Coding round and two distributed system design rounds. The HR explained the process clearly and sent the emails with subject matter to be focused for each round.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
It was fairly straight forward question where I was asked to design a distributed system which had the requirement like Given 2 independent systems the first of which is Device inventory system that contains device information like device-type, device-os, current user of the system, current status of the device like the application/s installed, status of System etc.
the second system should have details for Employee management system like user, department and organization information like user details, department details to which he/she belongs, Organization at which he/she works
I needed to Design a system which provides interface(API) that provides search capability on device, user information like
* Fetch all the devices which are assigned to a user by username.
* Fetch all the devices assigned to department etc.
Write a program where two processes/classes communicate with each other using streams.
Process A (class) communicates to Process B (class)
Process A writes JSON to standard input and Process B responds on it's own standard output.
Tip: Use StreamReader & StreamWriter
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Broadcom in Jul 2024
Interview
I was reached out by the HR for the End user Computing product (Omnissa) for an EM role. Initially They had 3 rounds which was all technical. After that no updates and after 2 weeks when I tried calling the HR, initially they picked the phone and later started ghosting me. I just wanted to know the result of the interview and will I be having further rounds. They are so rude .
In this tough times, the team plays a lot with the mental peace of the candidate. Very horrible experience
