Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, England
Process
Take-home project. Write an N-way set-associative cache, then sort of a code review process.
The guy who reviewed my code had very little clue as to what an N-way set-associative cache is, why it would be used, and when.
I got it after his first feedback, and I didn't expect it to go nicely.
In the end, he even seemed to take offense at me explaining the obvious to him.
I was disappointed with the level. Maybe, I was unlucky. Just wasted a day of my life.
Questions
Write an N-way set-associative cache in C#, Java, or Python.
