Interview
I had phone interview with a Manager following an on-site interview with the team. I think the skill test questions were not cleared. Sitting in a hiring manager office and trying to figure out what was the requirement it was not working for me. Thanks God! I used to close my office door when I want to solve a difficult problem.
When I get in the car drive home I rethink the questions actually it was not bad. It was just me too nervous.
Straight forward - 30 minutes phone screen with behavioral and technical questions on C++.
Followed by 5 hour in-person or virtual interview which included both technical and behavioral questions. Each hour was a different interview with different people.
A 30 minute microsoft teams meeting with questions regarding basic C++/C knowledge, resume review, and generic behavioral questions. Delved specifically into how I work in a team environment, personal strengths and weaknesses, and how to address difficult conversations.
