The process consisted of: 1️⃣ 30-minute initial screening – Basic C++ concepts (struct vs. class, OOP principles, etc.). Straightforward. 2️⃣ Final Round (4 hours, 1-hour back-to-back interviews, optional short breaks). Final Round Breakdown: 🔹 First Panel (30m C++ Theory + 30m Coding) – Standard technical round covering C++ fundamentals and problem-solving. 🔹 Second Panel (1 hour) – Focused on problem-solving skills with a logic puzzle. Less about coding, more about walking through reasoning. 🔹 Third Panel (1 hour, split between two technical leads) – • Discussed technical topics & general system design questions. • Some interviewers were more engaged than others. 🔹 Fourth Panel (1 hour, split) – • Logic puzzle (e.g., switches controlling light bulbs). • Hypothetical coding discussion on choosing the right data structure. Overall Thoughts: • The company culture leans traditional/legacy defense industry – structured, slower-moving, long-tenured teams. • UAV work is interesting, but if you’re looking for a fast-paced, startup-style engineering culture, this might not be the place.
