      C++ Developer Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MayStreet

      Interview

      First contact was with the CEO about doing a HackerRank screen. I did well on the screen and was asked to schedule a shared screen pair programming exercise with an engineer who works there. I suggested dates and times and received no response. I made contact once more and got no response. Several weeks later with no prompting the CEO talked about rescheduling the pair programming. We scheduled a time and date about when to do the screen (2PM) he sent a schedule confirmation for the wrong time (3PM), and didn't respond when I questioned him about that or any other questions. Very unresponsive, which should be a huge red flag to you. Finally did the pair programming about five weeks after I completed the HackerRank screen and flopped. The job description clearly states "current strong C/C++ skills or the desire to become an expert", but that's deceptive. You will not pass the screen if you aren't fluent in the C++ STL, so don't waste your time if you aren't a strong C++ engineer. My interviewer took some other calls when he was on the phone with me without telling me what was happening, which is pretty rude. However, I doubt I'll really remember that from this experience. I'll just remember it taking me about a month to schedule an interview and being ignored by the CEO.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MayStreet (New York, NY) in May 2022

      Interview

      I applied online. Got a call with their head recruiter same day or day after but it was very quick. After that was a hackerrank with 6 problems and 1 multiple choice. The problems were not that difficult if you're pretty familiar with the STL, but you do have to move pretty quickly. I think I was allowed 90 minutes and I used almost all of it. Second round was with one of the developers on the team. Again, the problem here was not difficult. I had to fix a memory leak and a list of objects being sorted in the wrong order. They're also looking for if you can tell why the memory leak occurred. I was able to fix the code but couldn't give exact reasons as to why the leak occurred so I think I got dinged here and didn't get to move on to the next stage.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MayStreet in Jul 2020

      Interview

      Everything out of them is automated, no hello and a virtual handshake, just "here's a HackerRank test, eat it." An application has no idea if they're dealing with a person on the other end or if they're just getting automated emails. The HackerRank is programming challenges. Most of the questions are straightforward data manipulation. There was one tricky question around bit flipping. The test is time intensive and even if you are a strong programmer, you really need all 90 minutes. After spending a hour and a half of my time, I received a rejection email with no real explanation behind their decision.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Parse out a string comprised of letters followed by numbers. Produce a string aggregates the letters and numbers (ie. "a1b2,a3" becomes "a4b2")

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MayStreet (New York, NY) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      First you get a HackerRank, then a phone call with the hiring manager, then a live coding test, and finally an onsite interview. The HackerRank has some basic Leetcode Easy/Medium level difficulty questions. The live coding test consists of debugging a program in C++ and then a brainteaser question. I did not receive an onsite interview. The hiring manager is very nice and very prompt with responses. The Engineer in charge of the live coding test was very nice and helpful as well. Unfortunately, I was not given an onsite interview because I lacked familiarity with C++.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Check if a number is a power of 2.
