Process
I was never informed of the interview topics or even given details of the requisition when recruiting reached out to me first.
The interview presented a shocking mix of linear algebra, C++ low-level concurrency, algorithms, and some strange behavioral questions.
The whole process was incredibly unprofessional and entirely lacked communication or structure. All this, to find out they pay well below market rate for talent.
Know your worth in talking to others and in negotiation, and avoid them.
Questions
Phone screen, a technical take-home assessment, and a series of virtual tech interviews during COVID.
