I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidessa (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
Bizarre and disrespectful. No coding questions asked, but he did ask me to speak a lot in detail about my project at my last job 2 years ago, down to details in the implementation that I could barely recall.
Interviewers should respect or realize that other companies have NDAs and it's icky to press for super fine-grained technical details, but he kept asking.
He also challenged things my company did and acted like he knew better than the people who actually worked there, and I was caught so off-guard I only realized after the interview how incorrect he was.
For instance, I brought up the technical challenge of loading "50 2-minute videos 1080 p videos at 60 fps" from disk to heap memory." He very confidently told me that we could've just loaded all frames of all~ 50 videos at once into a very big array and that any personal computer which had 32 GB of RAM was "more than enough".
There's a difference between RAM and heap memory, but even assuming I could allocate a 32 GB array in C++ without problems, the *actual* amount of memory required would've been 4 bytes/pixel x (1920×1080) pixels/frame x 60 frame/sec x 60 sec/min x 2 min x 50 videos = 2985.984 GB
(This was just one of a few instances where he was like "maybe you guys should've tried this".)
Also, I just got ghosted with not follow up interview. Was a waste of time, and it's sad they have interviewers who can't do math :(

Interview
I applied online and got interview.
1 hackerank
1 video recording
1 code-pair (currently at this)
round 1: hackerank, you have to use C++ to code. Review array, loop, some C++ functions syntax would be helpful
round 2: video recording. You are given 5min to prepare, 5min to talk. You will need webcam, and record devices. Try to pace your speed.

Interview
I have received a Hackerrank challenge the next day after I applied. And after a week, i received a sparkhire video interview, and I haven't finished the video interview.
