I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at L3Harris in Oct 2024
Interview
The most unprofessional interview experience I’ve had yet. Actual interview was fine, they quizzed me on basic programming and C++ concepts (had to explain OOP principles and answer questions relating to them, stack vs heap, memory, etc). Then I did a live coding problem. I didn’t do as well as I would’ve liked since it’s been 2 years since I’ve coded in C++, but thought I did ok and got along with the interviewers. They never responded after that. I even got a referral, but apparently that doesn’t warrant a simple “sorry, you didn’t get it” email. To make things worse I keep getting recruiters messaging me about all of the opportunities at L3. Don’t even waste your time studying and interviewing, they’re too busy recruiting college students.

Question 1
Write a function to reverse a string in C++ without allocating extra memory
Horrible recruiter with slow responses. She didn't let me finish answering her questions, and was quick to move on with the interview. A while later, she said the hiring manager wanted to speak with me, and asked for my availability. I responded with my availability and asked for a time. She never responded and ghosted me. Now my application says it's no longer under consideration.
Got invited to a hiring event in El Segundo . You had your register via email to get invited to this event. Once at the event scan a QR code and wait outside in the lobby area to be called.
The format of the interview can vary a bit by department. The whole process can be long and somewhat repetitive. They look for answers in the STAR format (situation or task, action and result)

Describe the most challenging situation you’ve ever faced at work
