Technical Coding
I had an onsite interview first, no prior calls. I interviewed with other software engineers one on one. They asked some basic questions on data structures, networking, programming concepts, and to figure out how some sample code works. It was about checking my overall understanding of concepts. Then I had a second onsite interview, which was pretty similar.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Questions on binary tree algorithms were asked, not too difficult though.

Technical Coding
I interviewed with the hiring manager and two senior staff engineers. The manager seemed a bit nervous, speaking very quickly. One of the senior engineers asked me some C++ questions and incorrectly stated I was wrong about a question regarding 'delete'. It turns out I was correct after looking it up later. They also asked some general problem-solving questions. The role involves working with SCRUM, focusing on sustaining and feature work, not new development. The salary range seemed to be in the low $90s. Overall, it felt like an okay place to work, but perhaps not a lot of fun, based on the vibe from the engineers.

- Given 8 objects, one with a different weight, what's the most efficient way to find it using minimal measurements?
- Can you identify the issue with this C++ code: { object* p=NULL; p = new object(); p->foo() delete p; }?
