NetApp Interview Questions and Answers for Freshers
8 Interview questions
CSMA/CD is a protocol used in Ethernet networks to avoid data collisions.
CSMA/CD stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection.
Before transmitting data, a device listens to the network to check if it's free.
If the network is busy, the device waits for a random amount of time before trying again.
If two devices transmit data at the same time, a collision occurs and both devices stop transmitting.
...
System stack is a data structure used by computer programs to store information about the active subroutines and function calls.
System stack is also known as call stack or execution stack.
It is a LIFO (Last In First Out) data structure.
Each time a function is called, its return address and local variables are pushed onto the stack.
When the function returns, the values are popped off the stack.
Stack overflow can oc...
TCP/UDP are transport layer protocols used for communication between devices on a network.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable, connection-oriented protocol that ensures data is delivered error-free and in order. It is used for applications that require high reliability such as email, file transfer, and web browsing.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that does not guarantee deli...
strstr function searches for the first occurrence of a substring in a given string.
The function takes two arguments: the main string and the substring to be searched.
It returns a pointer to the first occurrence of the substring in the main string.
If the substring is not found, it returns NULL.
The function is case-sensitive.
Example: strstr('hello world', 'world') returns 'world'.
Phases of compilation include preprocessing, compilation, assembly, and linking.
Preprocessing: expands macros and includes header files
Compilation: translates source code to assembly language
Assembly: translates assembly code to machine code
Linking: combines object files and libraries into an executable
Examples: gcc, clang, javac
Reading from a NULL pointer results in undefined behavior and can cause a segmentation fault.
Dereferencing a NULL pointer can lead to crashes or unexpected behavior.
It is important to always check if a pointer is NULL before using it.
Examples of undefined behavior include accessing memory that doesn't belong to the program or overwriting important data.
Segmentation faults occur when a program tries to access memor...
512 MB RAM is a computer memory module that can store and retrieve data quickly.
512 MB RAM is a type of computer memory module.
It can store and retrieve data quickly.
It is a relatively small amount of memory compared to modern standards.
It may be suitable for basic computing tasks such as web browsing and word processing.
It may struggle with more demanding applications such as gaming or video editing.
Yes, I have a few queries.
Can you provide more information about the company culture?
What are the opportunities for growth within the company?
Can you explain the benefits package in more detail?

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: There were basically four parts :[Quantitative,C programming,Data Structures and algorithms,Systems].Each section has 10 or more multiple choice questions.There was negative marking for each wrong answer, also there was cutoff for each section.Quantitative section has elementary math question(CAT type).C programming section has o/p and error type question.Data Structures contains tree traversal and order complexity question.whereas systems part has question from all the subjects like compilers(Regular Expression and DFA),communication system,networking,Computer Organization.I was good in C and Data Structures,so frankly speaking the aptitude test was not very tough except for the system's part.Actually aptitude paper was conducted by the forum called "CareerNet ".
Duration: 60 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had two technical interviews, first one was for the elimination[Initially 18 people were shortlisted out of which 10 were eliminated].In the first round they asked me basic questions on C and Operating System. because I applied for
QA(Testing)They asked me to write the test cases for the function which reverse's a floating point number.Second Interview was all about OS,asked me about memory, paging,virtual memory,log files and other stuff...he also asked me to write a code for something which I don't remember but i think it was very easy otherwise I would have
remembered it.Also some question were based on my internship at IBM.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I had two HR round.One was HR + Technical..whereas other one was completely HR.In the first HR they asked
to write the test cases for the projector before buying(In other words test whether it is working fine or not).Some
questions on Networking as in how many layers are there,use of each layer,difference between UDP & TCP and
HR questions like what if i m not happy with my manager?? What would you do if you need holidays and your companies doesn't allow you one??Second HR was not very different for the first...they asked whether i will be having any problems if relocated to some other place.Future plans,Questions on family background,about my preparation for AIEEE,queries regarding the PPT.
It was a long day,started early morning and went till midnight.They had two profile Developer's and Quality
Assurance.I had applied for QA.After giving the aptitude test I thought I had cracked it.My first interview didn't go
that well but luckilyIi managed to get into the second round.Second interview was good i answered all the questions
nicely. Before sitting for NetApp I had given Adobe's interview so this time i was more confident while facing the HR this time.
General Tips: Study basics of DS,OS and C properly.Otherwise you will be in a lot of trouble during campus placement.Solve as many puzzles and DS question from various sites possible(like Orkut and WU puzzles) before sitting for the interview (as this will provide different ways of how to approach a question).Practice quant and logical reasoning question well as these takes lot of time in solving. Also try to solve Test Your Skills in C it will help a lot.Do revise your project and internship work before the placements because they may ask question on that.Do not bluff if u don't know the answer just say i don't know.Also don't disclose any plans of further studies. The main hurdle in campus placement is to pass the aptitude test, because during interviews many things depends on luck. So,just work hard and hope for the best.If you don't get selected in one company, don't get nervous there will another great company waiting for you.
ALL THE BEST

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: it consisted of 4 sections.1st section was quantitative aptitude. questions on pipe-cistern,work,percentages,profit loss etc., 2nd section was c. this was the easiest of all as nearly all questions were from test ur c skills...but all good questions only. 3rd section was ADA.. i.e algorithms. questions were mixed easy as well as hard. some basic questions like a tree is given wat is inorder traversal. some complex questions like the complexity. there were even questions on Graphs.4th section was Systems. questions were tricky. questions on race conditions.segmentation faults.code was given and race condition wat is final output. int a[100];for(i=0;i<=100;i++) a[i]=i; wat will happen?? questions on signals.... So overall it consisted of quant & technical sections of which the first one was on number theory and some calculations.tas stated earlier 3 subsections: C,DS,systems. in C section some codes were given and asked the output mostly they were recursive ,pointers,malloc stuff. in DS stacks,binary trees,sorting & searching,graphs(DFS,MST) it was fundoo. The last section was on compilers,CAO,OS which was tough.totally the test was of good quality.
Duration: 90 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 1st Technical round :::It was 20-25 min interview. mostly on c and systems(my aoi) questions
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Initially I was disappointed as I couldn’t get through some of the companies which I expected,I would get through and finally I went for Net App and I was impressed a lot attending the PPT,and their area of work is on Data sotrage which involves OS,CO stuff in which I’m interested in.So I felt I chose the right company & luckily(perhaps) I was selected. Regardless of which company you are aiming for C,DS,OS are a must . You have to be very strong as these are the basics for a CSE student and ther are some companies which ask only algorithms and others cover all the CSE subjects.Coming to the interviews stay cool & think aloud so that if you misunderstood the problem ,he will help you out ....
