Technical Coding Behavioral
I first spoke with the recruiting team at a career fair, they took my resume and then I got an email with a hackerrank challenge. It was pretty straightforward and I completed it correctly. Next, they had me do a Hirevue interview which was all behavioral questions. After that, I thought I'd either get rejected or invited for an in-person interview, but instead, they wanted another remote codepair interview. At that point, I decided not to waste any more of my time and withdrew my application. It's strange they have so many stages, especially since I live so close. They really don't seem to value a candidate's time.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Regarding airplane arrival times and gates, what would you say? (This is similar to the train arrival times and platforms problem)
- In terms of what you can contribute to fidessa and the core team, what are your thoughts?

It was a 4-round process. I got selected in the first round, which was an online coding challenge, straight from the career fair. This round had two questions: one about arrival and departure times, and another involving string manipulation using a stack. The next round was a video interview, and then came a code pairing session.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- How to solve the arrival departure times problem?
- How to do string manipulation using stack?
- Given an array, find a pair with difference k.

Technical Behavioral Coding
First I did a logical reasoning test. Then I had a F2F interview in London. It started with a 20 min HR chat about my past experience and skills. Then a 1-hour C++ test focusing on inheritance, templates, polymorphism, and data structures. After that, I had a 1:1 interview with friendly interviewers covering core C++ and some behavioral questions. They told me they were looking for someone more senior.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you explain what a semaphore is and how it functions?
Fidessa C++ Developer Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Fidessa interview reports.
“Find matching pairs in a string.”
Read reports →“Given an array, find a pair with difference k.”
Read reports →“Given arrival and departure times for flights, determine the minimum number of airport gates required to accommodate all schedules. If a plane departs at the same minute another arrives, the arriving plane needs a gate first. Write a function to return this minimum number. Example: arr = {900, 940, 950, 1100, 1500, 1800} dep = {910, 1200, 1120, 1130, 1900, 2000} flights = 6. Expected output: 3. Arrive 9:00 ; 1 gate Depart 9:10 ; 0 gates Arrive 9:40 ; 1 gate Arrive 9:50 ; 2 gates Arrive 11:00 ; 3 gates Depart 11:20; 2 gates Depart 11:30 ; 1 gate Depart 12:00 ; 0 gates Arrive 15:00 ; 1 gate Arrive 18:00 ; 2 gates Depart 19:00 ; 1 gate Depart 20:00 ; 0 gates”
