Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Manager round (comprised of technical questions, background and work experience, and coding problems) + 4 Virtual Onsite rounds.

Overall, the interview was decent, but some questions were beyond my scope/knowledge. For staff-level roles, they do expect very specific domain knowledge.

Questions

Here's a list of topics:

  • Pointers: how to allocate an integer pointer.
  • Synchronization using Mutex.
  • Mutex vs. semaphores.
  • Smart pointers in C++.
  • Lambda functions in C++.
  • Merge Intervals -- LeetCode.
  • Design a phonebook.
  • What is your experience with performance counters?
  • What are the types of overloading?
  • API vs. ABI.
  • How do you typically handle a performance issue?
  • What is template specialization?
