Wolverine Trading Software Engineer interview experience

No offer

Posted Oct 2012 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went into my interview with the mindset that I knew the basics, but it turned out to be heavily technical and very fast-paced in terms of expectations.

The interviewer asked a batch of technical questions, mostly around C++ concepts, plus logical questions. A recurring theme was that when I answered, they’d ask about the running time—so I had to reason not just about correctness, but about performance too.

I was also fairly new to interviews at the time, which showed. I didn’t feel fully prepared for the level of detail they wanted, and I walked out knowing I’d missed things I could’ve nailed. I ended up getting a rejection email within a week, which matched the overall feeling that I hadn’t represented myself as well as I hoped.
