That was a fun game. Trying to guess which of the 2 pictures was her. I only got 2 out of 10 right. 
OK, I apologize. Way too harsh. I'm sure she's a nice lady.

I heard they had problems in development. Focus groups kept complaining it was hard to remove. They said it stuck like glue.

Hi All,
As the title says had an interview yesterday, I was given a test as part of the interview did it.
I was a bit shocked that I could remember one formula but according to the interviewer I did more than most software guys on the electronics questions (I'm really an electronics engineer pretending to be a software guy!). The question I have is really how much are those tests worth? I mean I don't know about others but I have a copy 'The Art of Electronics' & 'The C Programming Language' on the shelf or the web so when I have to check something I go to those rather than the 'Wet Ware' Store between my ears... 
|

Agreed and I use a calculator too for working out stuff. Also at home we have a fancy washing machine and no mangle anywhere to be seen.
|
|
|
|
|
I have several of these tests, they generally have no reference to the job either!
|
|
|
|
|
The tests are just something the interviewer(s) pulled down from the internet to take up time during the interview so they don't have to talk to you. 
They don't know the questions to ask, because they haven't thought about it for more than 11 seconds.

By-the-way, good luck.

Then look for these jobs, and not software engineering jobs?

I do, however most of them require you to be fluent with C, assembler & other things these days pretty much everything has some form of controller in it (even a battery charger I worked on!).
|
|
|
|
|
Of course! Battery chargers are complicated these days, what with temperature sensors, charge termination monitoring, and such like. It's a heck of a lot more accurate and cost effective to use digital technology than try to do it all in analog circuits.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

This battery charger was some else project who left the firm and it was muggins who had to sort why it wasn't working properly, the analog temperature sensor rig was going positive due to an op-amp chip getting too hot. As I recall it was 'fixed' for the ones in the field by sticking heat sinks to offending chip. I came up with a desgin using a PIC to monitor temperature and voltage on the chip and a couple of other things...

A question I was given, among twenty other such questions, was:
int i = 5;
int j;
j = ( i++ > 4? 3 : 4 ) < 10 ? 8 : 14;
cout << j;
Not sure how many of those twenty I got right; but I didn't get that job.
The one thing most interviewers forget is that 'There is a debugger'. 
|
|
|
|

I mean I can understand it from the what does the '?' do, but if you turned in the line j= (i++>4? 3:4)<10 ?8 : 14; to anything other that a its in the field it passed every test, oh darn we need this added feature I would have been flayed!

Yeah, but that one is trivial.
Since both possible values for the first expression are less than 10, the whole thing is just
int i = 6;
int j = 8;
cout << j;
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
