First had a phone call. Guy was really nice, just asked me about stuff I had on my resume and general career path stuff. Then I had an in-person interview with two engineers. Kinda weird honestly. They asked me pretty easy questions, no actual whiteboarding involved. One was a simple bit mask question which I know I answered correctly b/c I literally looked up the exact question before. They said I had the bit shifting backwards. Didn't make much sense honestly, I even looked it up after. Then the guy asked me about polymorphism. I gave him an example of overloading which he said wasn't polymorphism (again, really confusing and I had to check myself after the interview to see if I was going crazy) and he noted he wrote me down as "familiar but not well versed in oop". Then he kept mentioning the app I was developing and wanted to look at the code live. I was happy to explain/answer anything he wanted, but I couldn't really show him because 1.) It's an ios app and I didn't have it readily available on my windows laptop, and 2.) It was part of a group effort that we were planning on releasing, and I didn't feel comfortable showing it. He asked me several times and I just kinda gave a nice excuse not to. Just kinda weird, this was for an embedded role. He could have also asked to see any other project (there were 4 on my resume) that were much more related to the role - I mean, he was apparently a C/C++ expert and he never asked to look at my C/C++ code. He asked me what type of programming language I liked the most. I mentioned that currently I was learning Scala and was really loving how clean it was. He responded "Oh you're one of those hipster coders" - like what? Dude, I'm a student that's exploring new coding languages and excited to talk about a new one I'm learning. Anyway, the rest of the questions were pretty easy and simple. I got through everything despite the 3 hitches described above. Just stayed positive, w/e. I got a machine response a couple days later saying they moved on without any other feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Return bits 3-5
Couple questions about oop
Question about how if you had an if() statement with some function in it and it fails, what would be the possible reason it would fail.
He will type into chat some small snip of code and ask questions about it.
* Basically, just study oop, bit manipulation, and simple alg/structures stuff and you'll be fine. You can study multithreading and html too if you want. He asked if I knew those and mentioned most candidates dont, so that might make you stand out.
