      Senior C++ Engineer Interview

      Feb 6, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Edinburgh, Scotland
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Arup (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Dec 2022

      Interview

      After submitting a CV, cover letter and filling out an application form I had a teams interview with two current senior engineers/engineering managers. Interview was focused around software quality with a very contrived mock review.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Applied for a numerical/simulation role and was booked in for interview. They cancelled last minute then rearrange one much later with a quality engineer. They asked about Catch2 and FakeIt test frameworks. Asked about edge case testing around a silly function that eliminates duplicate vectors. Stressed quality despite a clear lack of experience and kept boasting that Michael Feathers was one of their consultants (dispute the fact he specialises in bringing codebase back from the brink). Nobody had the curiosity to contact me afterwards - frankly it sounds like a mess with no interesting work, I'm not going to grovel so I can work cleaning up their mess. In my tiny company we have the grace to provide feedback to candidates who make the effort
