Manager: Nikesh I want you to interview a candidate for Failure Analysis team, he could be a part of our team as well, I will forward you his resume
Me: Sure, is the interview on Monday?
Manager: Sorry for the short notice Nikesh, a few have already interviewed him. Its today and your slot is from 12.30 to 1.30.Let me know if you need more time for his interview I will cut down his company tour...will be taking him to lunch now and dont be late for the interview.
Me:Wow?...
That gave me little over an hour to prepare. English Language and communication not being my strength (not to mention my thick S.Indian Accent) I decided to write down my questions.
I prepared all my questions (good luck googling it)!!! they were straight forward and I'm sure any engineer can answer most of these (and I hope a mechanical/civil/aerospace engineer answers all).

I'm not going to tell where this guy graduated from, reasons being I hope to get into that University someday or at least I will die trying :)
BUT
Devastated I was, after 90min :'(.....I just hate the way engineers are being taught these days...we are a bunch of morons who fail to understand basic concepts in ENGINEERING. I cant believe we all become engineers without understanding basic Math. We still struggle to do Math that was developed in the 16th and 17th century despite having fancy computers and gadgets.
The rest of the world can depend on Computers, Internet, Wikipedia, Wolfram and get smart (I call them Wiki-smart..all superficial-one page knowledge-bunch of dimwits)I depend on my Brain and it will never let me down...cos IT aint a server to CRASH.
PS: On a guilt trip right now...OK OK I use Woflram :D
