Interview Preparation
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 Engineering Interview Topics
CS Fundamentals
Strength in coding language of choice
Debugging skills
High Level Systems Design
Algo Developer Interview Topics
Statistics / Probability
Python / C++ programming
Data analysis
Software Engineering Interview Topics
C++ programming
Debugging skills
CS fundamentals

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 have a casual work environment so feel free to wear what makes you feel comfortable!
