United StatesPosted Feb 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After I applied online, I got contacted directly by email and scheduled a video meeting interview where the process was focused on one coding problem along with basic C++ questions.

It didn’t involve an online assignment—this felt like a live assessment from the start.

The coding portion required working through an actual implementation, and I also answered foundational C++ questions to confirm I understood the basics. The difficulty level came across as difficult, and it was clear they were checking both practical coding and core language understanding. I didn’t receive an offer, but the structure was direct and didn’t drag out.
