Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Razer.
Software Engineer Intern
It was pretty relaxed overall. The people interviewing me were nice and seemed genuinely interested in my resume. Pretty much the whole interview was spent digging into my past experience and internship and how it relates to what this job entails.
- Tell me about yourself and elaborate on your resume and previous internship.
Software Engineer
The interview process was straightforward. I spoke with three engineers and one manager, and they asked a lot of C++ questions. It wasn't too hard for me because I have solid experience in the field. I got a job offer in the end, but I decided not to accept it.
- Could you tell me about your experience with compilers?
- What do you know about linkers?
- Can you explain pointer arithmetic?
Software Engineer
The initial phone screens went fine. Then there was a 5-hour in-person interview. The interviewers were pleasant. I had to write code for a couple of problems, which I think I did okay on. However, on one coding problem, I misunderstood an available operation, which made it impossible to solve correctly. The interviewer didn't mention I could have used that operation, and without it, the problem was unsolvable. The other problem involved a math trick that they expected me to figure out on the spot. I tried my best and was close to a solution but ran out of time to code it. After not getting the right answers, the hiring manager, who I was supposed to meet, came in and claimed there was a 'Production Emergency!' and had me escorted out. This was clearly a fabrication. I followed up with the recruiter, but they never replied. Given their dishonesty during the interview process, I can only assume their employee treatment would be similar. Thus, I'm glad I didn't get an offer.
- For an input array of integers, like [1, 2, -3, 1], determine if a sub-sequence exists that sums to zero, and return the start and end indices for each such range (e.g., [1, 2, -3] or [2, -3, 1]). Is there a solution with a time complexity better than O(n^2)?
