I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at L3Harris in Feb 2023
Interview
Single one hour three-person panel interview with managers. Thrown a lot of C++ trivia questions. Questions with some code snippets about basic OOP concepts. Only 2 STAR behavioral questions towards the end. They build questions to ask you based on your resume content.

Question 1
What are the differences between processes and threads?
applied online, about 2-3 weeks later got a called to answer some questions and to set up a interview. did the interview on teams. after interview waited 24-48 hours for a decision
It was basic behavioral questions and then technical questions about OOP principles (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction). The technical questions were not difficult, basic CS knowledge things. The interviewer was nice.
The interview process was straightforward and conversational. I first had a short phone screening with HR about my background and interest in the company. This was followed by a 30-minute video call with a software engineer, where we discussed my previous projects, some basic programming concepts, and how I would approach debugging. There were no tricky algorithm questions—just practical scenarios related to the role. The interviewer was friendly, and the whole process felt relaxed.
