      Senior Software Developer Interview

      Aug 26, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Smiths Detection in Aug 2025

      Interview

      First was contacted by an interviewer. He was friendly and asked some screening questions on C++ basics and multithreading. I passed the screening and went to the first round. This was taken by a staff engineer. I was told to interview myself and we started off with what is polymorphism. I was told to implement a virtual function example in some IDE of my choice, and then I was told to implement own vector using C++. I started with the basic implementation but I got stuck at implementing the copy constructor. She corrected me and at the end when I asked for the feedback she told me to brush up on the basics again. The review given to the recruiter was that I lacked the basics, despite answering and implementing majority of the questions. I think such because of such faulty feedback environment present, better to avoid this company.

      Question 1

      1. What is polymorphism? Difference between compile time and runtime polymorphism.
