PolandPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I only made it through the first part of the interview loop.

That round leaned into C++ data structures and algorithms, but it also included a lot of questions from operating systems. I wasn’t ready for how OS-heavy it would be, and the mix felt like it expected depth in a hardware-leaning environment.

The difficulty was described as average overall, but personally it felt like the OS portion was the piece that threw me off most, because it wasn’t the area I’d expected to be emphasized. Without the rest of the loop, I didn’t get an offer, and I left the experience feeling that the technical scope was broader than I had prepared for.
