Interview
Overall the process was pretty good. The first interview was super chill and mostly covered OOP concepts like the four pillars, software engineering fundamentals, and talking through how I think about code. The second round was definitely a step up—they had a few engineers and the hiring manager on the call, and they really dug into my resume and expected me to know the technical details behind everything I'd listed, especially some C++ concepts. Didn't make it past that round, but everyone was respectful and I'd say if you get an interview here, make sure you can talk in depth about every project on your resume.
