Process
I spoke with a recruiter at a campus job fair, and they gave me a screening a couple of days later. The recruiter was very friendly and understanding. The screening was C/C++ based.
It included problems on:
- String manipulation
- Bit shifting
- C structs
I was told I passed but am waiting to hear back for the next step.
Questions
String manipulation
Bit shifting
C structs
