Junior C++ Developer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
Two OAs tested in-depth C++ concepts and LC-type questions, with only one test case for each. After passing both OAs, there was a 30-minute phone interview.
The interviewer had an omniscient, god-like feeling, despite being conceptually incorrect.
I don't know why they conduct interviews when the interviewer won't even listen to you, and they are going to reject you even if you code the solution.
Don't waste your time.
