I applied in-person. I interviewed at Leidos (Chantilly, VA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Unique circumstance where I was a domain expert and had worked the project in the past. The interview was cursory and pleasant. The interview was more a pitch to get me to return.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Leidos in Jan 2024
Interview
Straight forward, one call with the hiring manager, another with the lead software architect. No coding exercises but they are heavy on concepts and c++ knowledge. Asked me about RAII, C++17 features like auto, optionals, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you properly manage the lifetime of an object in c++
Not serious process, Was scheduled to an hour interview, but the leading developer said it's only 30 minutes, along with two other developers, that's all. And the hiring manager didn't show up.
