Written test @ Yahoo, Adobe, IBM

The companies' names are sorted by written test time.

Yahoo's problems are not too hard, but covered a lot of areas, like database, network, c++, even some iq tests. But they are all basic questions, the easist test of the three.

Adobe's test was not hard too, i had to choose java or c++ part to answer, i browsed quickly and chose c++. When i came back, i wrote some code down to check, and my answer seems right, quite good, reading TCPL did help.

IBM's test was awful. I read someones' experience on BBS, but still did not well in part I of IPAT, only 2/3 of the questions were answered, then i did good in part II and so-so in part III. Technical part of IBM's test was nightmare for me, too many questions about design pattern and too many new words for me to understand both the question and choices, like many people said, IBM is like a Chinese Natinal Enerprise, we can tell from the test.

p.s. I got phone call from Microsoft this afternoon, hr told me the on-site interview was arranged on 10.1. Today is the first day to send out interview invitation, it seemed that i did really well in written test, and i also heard somebody was arranged for an phone interview while i was not, so i would conclude that dechu is quite nb. :)

p.s. got Baidu's rejection letter last Thursday, that's exactly 2 weeks after the interview.
