Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
So, first I had a phone interview with like 3 engineers, and they were asking me stuff about binary trees and algorithms. They had me write code in a shared doc which was cool. Then the onsite interview, it started with a quick chat with HR, she asked me some behavioral questions about my strengths and weaknesses. After that, I met the hiring manager, and he gave me the rundown on what the company does and what his team is all about. He then asked me about my background, my projects, and why I'm interested in joining them. Following that, I met with two engineers and they hit me with a technical question about arrays and the strcpy function. Then came this written test, about 8 questions long. The whole thing took about 2.5 hours. Basically, if you brush up on your data structures (searching, sorting, trees, hashing), algorithms, pointers, arrays, linked lists, and OOP, you'll nail it!
Confirmed questions8 questions
- What is a class, and what is an object? Also, explain inheritance. What's the difference between function overloading and overriding?
- Can you explain the difference in how these two lines are executed: const char* p; char const *p;?
- Will these lines compile and run? Explain why: char p[4]; strcpy (p, "This is a copy"); What's the output of these lines? How is it different from the previous question? char *buf = new char[4]; strcpy (buf, "This is a copy");

Behavioral Technical Coding
It was an onsite interview. I met the hiring manager first who asked me more about my personality and resume. He also asked brain teasers and a technical interview on JavaScript and MySQL which was conducted by the team members. I also interviewed with the head of the Asia branch. It went well and I'm glad I experienced different interview styles. I didn't get an offer, but it's okay.
