Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
They gave me a ~300-line C++ program with multiple classes that had robots playing rock-paper-scissors, including a tournament among multiple robots with printed results. The main task was adding or modifying classes to meet the interviewer's requirements. I got everything done, but the questions were pretty ad hoc so I wasn't sure if I'd fully covered everything. Got notified two weeks later that I didn't pass. Honestly baffling.
Questions
class modification or adding some classes for existing code base
