Process

I applied through my college career fair, where I was asked to write a function to reverse a number. I was then called for an on-campus interview.

The interview lasted about 50 minutes with two engineers interviewing me. They asked me questions about my resume for the first 15 minutes. This was followed by a programming question, which they asked me to code in C++. However, I chose to code in Java, which they were fine with. They gave me about 20 minutes for this.

This was followed by questions about Bloomberg.

Overall, not a great experience, as the interviewers seemed pretty tired and disinterested.

Questions
