Software Engineer Interview Experience - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Process
Had a quick phone screen where basic C++ questions were asked, and then I was flown out to their office for an in-person interview that consisted of writing a program to solve a prompt and then some white board questions.
I've done a couple of these types of interviews already for multiple tech companies and this one was no different than any other for the most part. I enjoyed the process.
Questions
Build a system for retrieving movies based on year and genre.
Some general object-oriented and polymorphism questions were asked. Nothing was too crazy.

- 5.0Pretty greatSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaJanuary 24, 2024Pros: Actively improving software engineer culture and probably the smartest people I have come across.Cons: There is a gap between management and employees.
- 3.0Good Early Career but Bad Mid CareerSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaFebruary 6, 2025Pros: * Perks: Food, gym, discounts * Pay higher than the average for the area * Decent WLB given the industryCons: * No clear career paths by design * Boring work * Lack of growth opportunities
- 4.0Great place to write codeSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaFebruary 10, 2011Pros: Endless perks- free food, auto mechanic, etc. No TPS reports. No one looking over your shoulder telling you how to code - use all the recursion and functional programming you want. No one complains about wearing earphones. Opportunity to rise in pay and prestige without going into management. Pay is way better than other places in the area...Cons: ...but way worse than other companies in the industry. Company is run by traders, not programmers, which is not optimal for the career of a programmer. Hard to concentrate on coding on the trading floor. No say in what projects your placed on. Different departments vary wildly in culture- your experience may vary.
