Process
The first interview is more of a screening interview where they ask you very general questions.
Honestly, I'd say don't stress about them and just do the practice questions. It should be easy; the questions are intuitive. I managed to get through this part relatively easily, but the next round is difficult.
As an Electrical Engineer, I found this technical round really difficult. It doesn't check a basic understanding of your coding skills but goes into this high school exam-level technical test where you have to choose between MATLAB, Math, and a coding language (Java, C/C++, or Python, I believe).
The questions are just what everyone else is saying on this site. TRUST THEM.
But if you want to really consider this company, be ready to be a little bit more intimately familiar with C/C++ and MATLAB itself.
Questions
Inheritance-related questions. The coding challenge has one inheritance question.
