Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Contacted by a recruiting firm, which arranged the initial phone screen. The interview process was old-style, with many in-depth questions on C++ and fewer on algorithms. C++ was mentioned as a preferred language, and the interviewer asked many questions from C++11 (and later) standards, such as how rvalue references work. Therefore, it was more about memorization than problem-solving.
Questions
-
C++ fundamentals: lvalue, rvalue. Disliked it. More on memorizing.
-
Concurrency question on locking pattern. Good question.
-
Memory allocation. OK question.
-
Algorithm question on URL caching and eviction. Good question, but did not have time to code.
