Entrevista
- One take home test that needed to be finished in 1 week. Make sure to include unit tests but don't spend too much effort on this since I don't think the interviewers paid much attention and weight to this take home test)
- One phone screen interview (voice call only), asking general C++ & data structure knowledge.
- 2nd phone screen interview (again voice only). This was a hard level leetcode coding question, although it was not an exact same question but it is similar to a leetcode hard level question. I was off-guard, didn't think they could ask this level of coding difficulty over a phone call (even worse without video call and an editor like google docs). Also the accent make it difficult to communicate over the phone call.
- Haven't heard feedbacks from them yet. I think I failed. But it is understandable.

1 coding challenge: leetcode easy/medium

Pregunta 1
Leetcode questions were easy (similar to quant/faang interviews). Systems questions required deep knowledge on OS, memory, networking, etc.

2 rounds. 1st round is about C++ OS knowledge and 2nd round is coding. 1st round is nice but the experience of the second round is very bad. The coding problem is easy but it seems that interviewers have different ideas about the solution. This problem can be solved easily if the interviewer tells me that he doesn't agree and we discuss what we think about it. However, the interviewer only says "good, it's fine, I understand" but he actually doesn't think so. He also explains nothing about the problem. No useful information and fake feedbacks make it hard for me to figure out the problem and I never know what he really wants to know. Finally, he finish the interview in 30 minutes, which is 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled slots. This makes me feel insulted. I think the interviewer only wants someone who can know what he thinks with the superpower. Really bad experience, never want to interview with him again.
