Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Bloomberg (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di mag 2016
Colloquio
The whole process of evaluating candidates can be the best described as "completely random". I've already applied to Bloomberg for a similar position a year ago and was easily able to get through two rounds of technical interviews and an interview with a PM and a team lead. This time around I was turned down right after the very first technical interview. I believe it can be safely stated that according to Bloomberg this means that I got WAY WORSE over the course of the year and probably lost all of my near-decade C++ experience.
The only thing for me to decide right now is if I want to apply in a year again to see how far I'll be able to get that time.
Domande di colloquio [5]
Domanda 1
Difference between a pointer and a reference in C++? When would you use one instead of another?
What does the "static" keyword do? How does the "static" keyword affect a source-file-level variable? The latter question turned out to be asked in a completely lame manner, 'cause the interviewer basically wanted to know about "external linkage" as opposed to "internal linkage".
Given a set of classes and a small function that uses them, figure out what will be printed on the screen. A typical construction/destruction order C++ question.
