Sun Microsystems

Interview Procedure

The interview questions were mainly on data structures, computer architecture 
( very imp) , operating systems and computer networks.

We have pretty sketchy information on the exact pattern of the SUN written 
test. There is a technical section which is pretty tough. Question based on 
C, UNIX, Computer Networks, Data Structures and Operating Systems can be 
expected.
