I met them at a student career fair. I dropped off my resume and spoke with the HR team, but nothing technical was discussed.
Three days later, I received a call requesting an interview session.
First interview: I met with two young men. They were smart and friendly, which I really liked. There were two technical questions: reversing a singly linked list, and another question about people trying to cross a bridge. Personally, I'd advise you: they are not out to trap or trick you; they just want to see if you understand the concepts. I couldn't answer any of the questions in C++, but I understood their explanations and proved it to them.
Second interview: This interview was with HR and a manager. The manager was seriously cool. I liked him, and I guess he liked me too. We exchanged contacts, and three days later, I got the offer. The interview with the manager was more like an introduction to Bloomberg, showing me super cool stuff. Then there was one open-ended technical question at the end (which I got right – it wasn't all luck). The question was: how would you transfer the King James Bible from point A to point B most efficiently?
All questions were pretty straightforward. You better know C++ or any similar language, though.
