I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidessa in Mar 2017
Interview
No interaction with HR, everything was automated. First round was a coding interview and second round was a one way video interview (basic HR questions) after that got a reject that too on a weekend.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding:
1. Number of gates required given the arrival and departure time.
2. Find matching pair(kind off matching parentheses question.)
One way video:
1. Why Fidessa?
2. What do you bring to Fidessa and its development team?
3. What is your favorite programming language and why?

Interview
Bizarre and disrespectful. No coding questions asked, but he did ask me to speak a lot in detail about my project at my last job 2 years ago, down to details in the implementation that I could barely recall.
Interviewers should respect or realize that other companies have NDAs and it's icky to press for super fine-grained technical details, but he kept asking.
He also challenged things my company did and acted like he knew better than the people who actually worked there, and I was caught so off-guard I only realized after the interview how incorrect he was.
For instance, I brought up the technical challenge of loading "50 2-minute videos 1080 p videos at 60 fps" from disk to heap memory." He very confidently told me that we could've just loaded all frames of all~ 50 videos at once into a very big array and that any personal computer which had 32 GB of RAM was "more than enough".
There's a difference between RAM and heap memory, but even assuming I could allocate a 32 GB array in C++ without problems, the *actual* amount of memory required would've been 4 bytes/pixel x (1920×1080) pixels/frame x 60 frame/sec x 60 sec/min x 2 min x 50 videos = 2985.984 GB
(This was just one of a few instances where he was like "maybe you guys should've tried this".)
Also, I just got ghosted with not follow up interview. Was a waste of time, and it's sad they have interviewers who can't do math :(

I applied online and got interview.
1 hackerank
1 video recording
1 code-pair (currently at this)
round 1: hackerank, you have to use C++ to code. Review array, loop, some C++ functions syntax would be helpful
round 2: video recording. You are given 5min to prepare, 5min to talk. You will need webcam, and record devices. Try to pace your speed.
