Interview
Worst place to interview. The HRs and recruiters do not care about your time nor do they respond to your emails. First they rescheduled the interview without asking if I was available. Then no response for 3 weeks after the onsite. After multiple follow-ups they say the team response was positive and in a week they would confirm and give a final response. I waited for another 3 weeks and they just ghosted. Do not even bother spending the time interviewing here. You will think you are getting somewhere but you won’t.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Multiple coding questions very basic algorithm. Also some network related questions
I had a phone call with HR and then a zoom interview where i was asked to describe one of my projects, and then implement some well-known algorithms in python
Implement smart pointers in C++ within a C++ development editor in front of the interviewer. Initially explain the difference between unique pointer, shared pointer and weak pointer. Explain your code and make sure the logic is right and compiles.

Interview
I applied to their role on their website and a recruiter reached out to me to schedule interviews with the hiring manager and other members of the team. The interview process was drastically shortened for me because the hiring team wanted to fill the position very quickly, So the entire interview loop lasted only a week and a half.
the interviews consisted of a behavioral with the hiring manager and a hackerrank technical with a engineering team member.
