Process
The on-campus interview was very short.
The question was easy: "We need to inverse a sentence without inverse the words. For example, 'Carnegie Mellon University' to 'University Mellon Carnegie'."
Then, he asked about virtual functions in C++.
This position requires some finance background. I believe this is why I was rejected.
Questions

Ok for learning, horrible for pay
Software Engineer • Former Employee
September 5, 2022
Pros: Flexi leave
Good internal courses
Documented codebase
Subsidized meals
Free transportation
Cons: Company encourages long working hours.
Substandard pay and hike (if you are a college hire, your hike will likely only match the base pay of next year's batch).
RTO plan is a complete mess in India, and there is no option for permanent remote. Most employees do not adhere to the 3-day in-office policy; it gets depressing sitting alone in the office.
Attrition is trickling down from upper management, especially in AWT. Most teams are understaffed.
Highly regulated trading. Any trade from your demat account has to be pre-cleared by the company.
