4.Skype interview
As stuff about experience and your fav project, questions about TCP , UDP advantages of UDP over TCP. How to find missing packet in UDP and so on. They eventually rejected me inspite of doing well in all interviews. They are looking for people with C++, Unix and Networking background and it doesn't matter if you're a good problem solver or if you have good communication skills.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidessa (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
Easy C++ test then a 1:1 zoom call with one of the managers (Doug). He was super disrespectful and arrogant, questioning the technical parts of my previous job as if he knew better. Got ghosted by the company after.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fidessa (Jersey City, NJ) in Jan 2020
Interview
The process includes the online coding section and the phone interview process. The phone interview is mainly about the algorithm with Leetcode easy level questions. The questions are required written in C++.
The interviewer did not have communications.
Applied online, and then sent an OA, but I didn't pass. The OA is about two coding questions for 90 min. It was a positive experience that you know what you need to practice.
