I applied through university. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL
Interview
Took coding assessment which was difficult but they were clear that it wasn't expected to be completely finished in the time limit. After this was a phone call which included a technical question that was simple- just updating values in a process class. Then was an on-site that included one design interview which was pretty simple. Then a coding challenge which was just to implement a strategy for the battleship boardgame- and an interview to go over your implementation. Everything seemed to go really well- but I still got rejected. This was really frustrating, given that everything seemed to go seamlessly, but with no offer, was a complete waste of two days- incredibly frustrating.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you want to keep a running average, and values are updated every second, how would you store the information?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AKUNA CAPITAL (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2023
Interview
2 OAs which test in depth concepts of C++ and LC type questions with only one test case for each. After passing both OAs phone call for 30 minutes interview. Interviewer had an omniscient god like feeling despite being conceptually incorrect. I don't know why they take interviews when the interviewer won't even listen to you and they are gonna reject even if you code the solution. Don't waste your time.

Question 1
Concurrency/ Multithreading to code in C++ (thread safe queue)
OA: common algorithm tests on hackerrank Phone screen: implement a template class like the coordinate with dimensions as parameter. You should implement constructor and overload basic functions within 50 minutes . I failed to completely finishing it.

Interview
Hackerrank: ~15 multiple choice + 3 coding in 90 minutes.
1st round: 45-minute video call interview. Technical (coding in C++). 1 question with few follow-up discussions. Make sure to understand C++ syntax since the question focuses more on the understanding of C++ syntax instead of Algorithm/Data Structure type.

Question 1
Implement string class. (Make sure to memorize C++ class and every type of method inside them).
