I was interviewed twice, and although the process has changed, misleading information remains.

They claim you don't need to be an expert in C/C++, but only ask low-level C questions, which isn't suitable if you are coming from a different language or are not a recent CS graduate.

They also state that you don't need to be an expert, but simultaneously advise you to be very prepared. It is contradictory statements like these, combined with pushy recruiters, that create a terrible and confusing experience.

They'll suggest taking time to prepare, but then expect you to meet their hiring timeline.

The new strategy involves emailing candidates a wall of text with needless and exhaustive amounts of information.

The work must be very tedious and annoying if the first level of screening is to endure the recruiting process itself.

What is a zombie process?
