Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I applied online.
The screening round was mostly focused on my resume and previous experience. The interviewer went quite deep into the projects and technologies I had mentioned instead of just asking surface-level questions. They also asked several C++ fundamentals and internals, such as:
- How vectors grow
- What happens during reallocation
- Iterator invalidation
- Smart pointers
- Memory management
- How unordered_map works internally
Overall, the interview was fairly conversational, but they expected a good understanding of the concepts mentioned on the resume.
Questions
What happens internally when a std::vector reaches its capacity and another element is added?
Was this helpful?
