I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Ansys (New York, NY) in Apr 2018
Interview
Recruiter contacted me by LinkedIn. The interview is on a very promising product called Ansys Discovery Live. The role required a good CUDA programming and C++ programming skills. I candidly expressed that I am not very good at CUDA to HR person but she still arranged an on-site interview for me.
One of the interviewer didn't show up and I have to wait for 30 minutes till another interviewer came.
Not feeling interviewers have any interest on me and I am feeling a bit offended during one round of interview.
Interview process consisted of basic OOP, some leetcode mediums, and also some general chat with recruiters. Overall a very smooth process and definitely recommend. There were also some tree questions and general engineering questions.
Here are some medium-level coding questions and topics for basic understanding:
Data Structures:
1. Arrays:
- Reverse array
- Find duplicate elements
- Sort array
2. Linked Lists:
- Insert/delete node
- Find middle element
- Detect cycle

Question 1
Write a program to reverse a given string and calculate the sum of all digits present in the reversed string
Went through several interviews without real interest from the company side. Did take-home code challenge and wasnt even read (explicitly said by interviewer).
A waste of time, next time I will ask to do more interviews before or not do the code challenge and waste 4 hours to not even receive feedback on the solution

Question 1
