J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez SingleStore (San Francisco, CA) en mars 2017
Entretien
intro call with recruiting, 1hr coding phone screen, 2hr interview in Seattle office, followed by 4hr interview in SF office. they went out of their way to accommodate my schedule and timeline. both on-site interviews started with a lunch with the rest of the office, which i thought was a nice touch and setup a friendly environment.

Question 1
interviewer provided shell access to a machine which already had a C project folder setup for a relatively popular open source service. using just the terminal, we went over how to compile, run, and test the project. then they asked to add functionality to the code.
First round is kind of getting to know your real time problem solving skills by providing you to find a bug/add some function in their codebase in real time. Good if you have worked with large code base.

Question 1
How does malloc() work internally? What’s the difference between malloc, calloc, realloc, and new?
Couple of coding interviews, pretty standard. One was different from the normal and a very cool interview about an existing in memory database. The process is quite long but that's how it goes at good companies sometimes
