Squarepoint Capital Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Applied through a recruiter. A week after I was called for a first technical round. Most questions were about C++ and the under the hood details. The technical interview lasted for one hour and a half.

Intense, 5 stages and very Python heavy, more core software engineering questions. First stage asked me about decorator functions, context generator, Textual comprehension question where you convert stream of numerical numbers from an old phone key

Quite straight forward, but it was very technical, mainly C++ and memory layout and related questions, interviewer started with basic introduction and started with C++ related questions i.e. unique vs smart pointer, how to break cycle in smart pointe
