Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Samsung Cambridge Solution Centre.
Entrevista
Auto-emailed a code challenge. Code challenge is sufficiently complex that it can't be solved in the web interface provided by their third party assessor. The code challenge is written badly, and and the web "IDE" provided by the assessor is awful.
However, the second of the two automated coding challenges is ridiculously trivial.
Despite solving both exercises I received an automated rejection. No interaction with any member of staff.

standard.
Stage 2: This was a telephone Interview with the hiring manager lasting about an hour for me. General discussion around my CV, with questions clarifying specific details of experience.
Stage 3: A face to face interview on site: This lasted about 3.5 hours starting with an interview with the hiring manager and another Test manager. This section covered my CV in a little more detail, some problem solving tasks and write a test plan for a vending machine. The second section was a technical interview with two engineers. This took the form of explaining my coding test, and answering some spot questions. I was then asked to interpret a BASH script and a Perl script, and finally covered some networking questions including explain the difference between IPv4 and IPv6.
Thirdly a half hour section with HR followed by a facility tour.

1) A cube is made up of 1000 smaller cubes. What is the maximum number of small cubes that you can see?
2) You have a set of balance scales, and eight solid balls all of the same weight except for one which is slightly heavier than the rest. Using the scales, identify the heavier ball - if your first pass uses the scales three times, you will now be asked to solve the task using the scales only twice.
3) Write a test plan for a vending machine that has four windows, a vend door, a coin slot and a change tray.
