Like another reviewer posted, I had the phone interview with C++.
This was one of the most difficult C++ interview questions I had, and I nailed it.
So, I was asked to come for an onsite interview.
My first interview was with a guy who looked fresh out of school, and he started with a graphics question. It was pretty obvious he had done some graphics work before. I used some knowledge from my school algebra memories. But our "dude" here wouldn't understand that I was trying to solve a problem I wasn't used to and grilled me for 1.5 hours.
I solved most of the problems, then got stuck trying to figure out how to find the square root using integer calculations. After that, I was walked out. I wanted to scream.
I didn't see in the job description the need to be an expert in graphics.
I had never, ever had a worse experience than this. I think the company has some wannabes who are trying hard to make the hiring process weird.
Write code to draw a circle.
