Drw Software Engineer interview experience

The problem itself wasn’t described as especially brutal, yet the real difficulty came from needing to remember lower-level ideas precisely—things like virtual memory, address space behavior, and other “under the hood” details. There were also oddball C++ topics that required attention, including function pointers.

We coded from scratch, so beyond solving the problem I had to keep syntax and core language mechanics perfectly straight while discussing the underlying concepts. That mix made the round feel more academic than I expected, because I couldn’t just produce working code; I needed to
