Process was recruiter screen → 60 min C++ technical interview. The recruiter screen was mostly background discussion and role fit. They were specifically interested in experience with computer vision, calibration, sensor systems, and C++. The technical round focused heavily on C++ fundamentals rather than LeetCode-style trick questions. Topics included pointers/references, stack vs heap allocation, memory management, STL usage, debugging thought process.

It was a very straightforward process which involved classic technical conversation/questions, system design, and a coding section. Overall, the folks I talked to seemed smart and capable and the questions were valid for the role. I applied online, interviewed with their recruiter very shortly after and the rest of the interviews played out pretty quickly after. There was a bit of disorganization about how the process was unfolding on their end but we figured it out.

Recruiter screen, then coding screen on coderpad.io. Couldn't solve their dsa question in time in 45 minutes, so no offer. If I had focused and done all the problems in the Neetcode 150, I would've passed, so this is my fault.
