Entrevista
HR screening (useless), Online coding ,Design Questions , resume discussion
Online coding questions are average one.
Resume discussions are insignificant.
Design question is simple but yet interviewers want to hear what answers they have in their mind.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
1. Find missing number in sorted array
2. Bunch of printf for pointers
3. Design stack as in standard library, discuss pros-cons of memory allocation.
A single wrong answer even in discussions will disqualify the candidates. Prepare well and hope for the best luck on the interview day.

Pros:
Great initial approach – the recruiter thoroughly checked my GitHub profile and projects before the interview, which is very uncommon and shows they do their homework.
Cons:
A major mismatch between the job description ("Software Engineer C++") and the actual interview reality. The technical stage on CoderPad strictly tests bare-metal C98 skills: raw pointers, manual bitwise operations, and packing bytes into 64-bit integers. If you are accustomed to modern C++ (RAII, templates, safe memory management), this will feel like a massive step backward. Additionally, the time expectations for live low-level bit-shifting were unrealistic, to the point where the interviewer started solving the task themselves.
Interview was kind and not stressful, just minor mismatch of naming

Pretty good, not too complicated, was comfortable. Mostly LC questions, and was easy enough that you should be able to do it after doing NC150. good luck for the interview!
Starts with online test, then three rounds of technical interviews follow.
Not a lot of discussion, just go straight to the technical challenges which have to be solved in time
