Process
I had one telephonic screening.
The interviewer asked very basic data structure questions, such as:
- Inserting at the start of a linked list
- The difference between
callocandmalloc - Abstract virtual functions
Questions
What data structures does a compiler maintain to achieve dynamic polymorphism in virtual functions?
Was this helpful?

Pros: Pretty low-pressure environment, and work-life balance is fair. I’m not working at weird hours to crunch things over the line.
Cons: I was brought in through an acquisition, and things have been steadily deteriorating. Lots of people seem to be leaving, and the product vision has been really weak lately. Current compensation is not aligned with the market.
