I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Leidos in Jan 2024
Interview
Straight forward, one call with the hiring manager, another with the lead software architect. No coding exercises but they are heavy on concepts and c++ knowledge. Asked me about RAII, C++17 features like auto, optionals, etc.

Question 1
How do you properly manage the lifetime of an object in c++
HR reached out via email to request my portfolio. The interview process moved quickly, taking about two weeks from start to finish. The designers I met were very kind and super helpful, and overall, it was a really good experience.
Applied via website and was contacted by recruiter for in-person interview in DC during the day, requiring mass transit and PTO. Interview was panel style with the program manager, another business analyst, and several others, too many people to be effective. Approximately 45 minutes in the actual interview between questions about the resume to domain knowledge tests. No feedback provided.
