Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

1.5-hour phone interview and HackerRank pair coding.

Interviewer wasn't very pleasant, quite aggressive and dismissive. I am asking myself what the atmosphere must be like at Bloomberg if this is their interview process. One of the most unpleasant interviews I have done.

Questions

What is STL?

How are vector and map containers implemented, and what are their access time requirements?

What are the different types of memory?

The interviewer drilled down more and more on each answer.

Write a C++ program that checks if two strings are anagrams of each other.
