I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CAE (Arlington, TX) in Apr 2024
Interview
One half hour round going over resume and projects, and then one one hour technical round doing easy leetcode question, also asked some fundamental C++ knowledge question. No trick questions.

Question 1
Implement Fibonacci sequence but also make sure to explain your design process, and the time and memory space complexities.
Very quick. It was only one round and they did not dog too deep into technical background or expertise. They asked basic knowledge questions and asked to solve one small problem. This was for an entry level position, so its possible for higher levels the process is more intense.

Question 1
Standard behavior questions, name a time you had to deal with a conflict, what did you do.
The interview process was smooth and well-organized. It started with an online coding assessment focusing on basic algorithms and problem-solving. Afterwards, I had two technical interviews covering JavaScript, APIs, and database queries, followed by a short HR discussion about culture fit and career goals. The team was friendly, and communication was clear throughout. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Question 1
Can you describe a project where you improved the performance or maintainability of the codebase?
The interview usually includes two to three people—often one or two managers and an HR representative—who evaluate your technical skills, experience, and interpersonal abilities to ensure a good fit for the culture.
