The interview started with a phone interview, followed by a on-site interview. In on-site interview, I did presentation on my research work. Most of questions were from my presentation.

The HR person from Nokia connected with me on LinkedIn and asked me to mail her my resume for a platform software opening. The term 'platform software' has different connotations, as I realized after this experience. While I have been working on a level above kernel, device drivers etc, the folks at Nokia consider platform software as device driver work. This should have been apparent when the engineering manager reviewed the resume before calling me for an interview. The two interviewers who interviewed me were surprised that I was called for an interview. They did ask me general C programming questions, but in the end, I was told that my experience did not fit in with open positions(!).
