Process

The interview came in two parts. The first was a phone interview where we spoke about C++ and my university projects. The second part was an on-site interview composed of three interviews: two technical and one HR.

The HR interview was very nice. She asked me general questions about why I like computer science and why I got into it. She also mentioned their work hours, as they're very long (8 am to 6 pm), and if I was okay with it.

Questions

The phone screen included general C++ questions, such as the difference between malloc and new, and questions about classes and structs.

For the on-site interview, the first technical interview focused more on C++ questions, including the sizes of types, how pointers work, and how to split a string into words given it was a sentence.

The second on-site interview was also technical. I was asked how to find the index of the first unique number in an array, the two-sum problem, and the infamous "3 black hats and 2 white hats" brain teaser.
