Candidate-reported interview process
Did a coding test on hackerrank, then a take home test where I had to complete a small c++ game. After that, there was a short 10 min HR phone screen. Then, a 1-hour interview with the program coordinator which was conversational and not technical. The response times between interviews and for the final decision were way too long and very taxing.
We did a long take-home assignment to check your technical skills and creativity. It had different parts and was pretty open-ended. After the assignment, there was a quick personal interview. We didn't get any feedback on the assignment.
So the interview process kicks off with a HackerRank C++ assessment, then there's a take home C++ assessment, and finally a technical interview. The C++ part includes a few small questions touching on theory, followed by two bigger questions.
