Behavioral Technical Coding
I had a phone screen with the recruiter, then an online assessment, and finally a phone screen with an engineer. The engineer asked me a lot of questions about C++, Java, and multi-threading. It seemed like they were looking for someone with post-grad experience even though I'm a senior.

Technical Coding Behavioral
First, I took a few standard IKM tests. Then, I had a C++ coding test where I had to implement a simple piece of software. I spent a lot of time on these tests, and only after passing them did they do a short phone screening, after which I was rejected. Usually, the screening happens earlier, and then you either get to an in-house interview or you don't, without wasting too much time. They did explain that they just don't have a role for me and sounded quite open and nice.

- Could you explain basic questions about CPU caching?
