Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

1st round: Online interview on HackerRank.com. This tested basic C/C++ programming skills. It was easy if programming and C++ are not new to you.

2nd round: Pair programming by logging into a remote server via SSH, using a text editor of your choice in the command line (like Emacs, Vim, or Nano). This was algorithmically more challenging, and you were required to use data structures and C++'s built-in STL containers.

3rd round: Similar to the second, but you had two interviews one after the other.

Questions

1st online round: fizzbuzz-like challenge

2nd round: algorithms, C++ built-in data structures
