Software Developer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Ran into them at a career fair and answered a few quick coding questions (Write the function isPalindrome in any language, write a function to print numbers 1-100 in Python).
Within about a week, I was brought in for an on-campus interview.
The interview was pretty standard; they asked me to talk a little about my resume then answer a whiteboard coding question.
After about another week, I was flown out to their Chicago office for a full day of interviews.
There were 5 interviews total: four technical, one behavioral.
Questions
Q: Given an array of chars, implement the function malloc from C. Make sure to write malloc in a way that you will be able to implement the function "free" later. (The second part of the question is to write free.)

Jump Trading Work Experiences
- 2.0Plenty of drama and politicsSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomNovember 23, 2023Pros: Some smart colleagues. Good amount of time off.Cons: The people who interviewed me and the recruiters involved did not accurately describe the culture or office setup. There is a lot of drama and politics. It's incredibly inefficient and lacks transparency. It doesn't feel like much of a business plan exists. There are loads of secret meetings. The tech stack is mostly old and bloated. It is all just so unimpressive from the inside.
- 4.0Good Pay, Siloed TeamsSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeSingapore River, SingaporeOctober 3, 2023Pros: Good pay, reasonable work-life balance.Cons: Slightly siloed teams, harder to bounce ideas.
- 4.0Good company to work atSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesAugust 20, 2023Pros: Lots of offices, so travel to many places is a perk. Groups have good projects. People are friendly (mostly).Cons: The Linux group can be difficult to work with. There is project overlap, and you might find that you have to compete with others. I think this is a fault of management in general, but to be fair to them, they have to struggle with the politics of the job.
