Process
I've only had the initial interview so far. This is the first of five rounds in total.
Four more technical rounds remain, during which coding in C++ is expected.
Questions
In the initial phone screen, I was asked about the implementation of virtual function tables in C++.
I was also questioned on some C++ features, cache, and some compiler backend concepts.
Most of the questions were experience-based.
