Process
Two technical rounds.
Started with describing both parties, current work, and all.
- Question related to concurrency.
- Buddy Bitmap asked me to implement reset bits (start, len).
In the second round, the interviewer seemed very disinterested.
Questions
- Question related to concurrency:
How would you write two functions in a single-threaded application where callbacks should execute once an event starts, and wait until then?
