Interview Preparation
Interview Process
Interviews at HRT usually consist of a coding test, 1-2 technical phone screens, and a virtual on-site interview. Interview length and topics can vary depending on the role.
Algo Developer Interview Topics
Statistics / Probability
Python / C++ programming
Data analysis
Software Engineering Interview Topics
C++ programming
Debugging skills
CS fundamentals
UNIX / Linux

Think Out Loud
How you solve a problem can be just as important as having the right answer. Thinking out loud gives the interviewer insight into your reasoning and can also help them follow along with your solution.
Share Your Reasoning
Make sure you can talk about your solutions; you will probably be asked to explain them. Engineering is all about trade-offs, so be prepared to discuss them.
What to Wear to Your Virtual On-Site
We recommend not wearing a suit. We have a casual dress code at HRT.
