Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Simplex Trading (Chicago, IL) en mar 2023
Entrevista
Simple verbal interview about various C++ features, simple questions (leet code variety, easy/medium), then simple behavioral with HR; chat with the CTO. Not really much information gleamed about the company, other than everyone being nice.
Applied on website.
HR contacted and scheduled a phone screen. Very quick.
Then scheduled a technical phone screen.
My brain was foggy from project I had been working on the day before. Different tech, different priority. Basically I went in misfiring.

Their internal recruiter was adamant that they don’t do any object oriented programming, only C++. She was so confident that I didn’t think it would be worth correcting her. I don’t think there is anything else to say here.
