Headlands Tech Interview & Online Assessment

Does anyone know about Headlands Tech? There is not much information in WSO forums about this firm and how they recruit. What are their interview questions like for Quant Researchers? It seems that they are using C++ heavily. They asked candidates to do an Online Assessment on HackerRank in c++ only. Anyone knows about this OA? Any information/tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here is an OA question, only partial information. If anyone has further information, please feel free to share with me. HackerRank, Must use C++. The algorithm part is a medium to hard leetcode question. 100 min. Given a csv file, each row being (start_job, time, next_job), Your job is to detect if the input data is an union of single linked list; then compute the total time to finish all jobs, the total number of jobs, average time per job. Read the csv file, run an algorithm, writing output.

 

hey, do you mind sharing some of your interview experience ? i have an interview coming up and it'd be great if i can hear your thoughts. Sent you a PM :)

 

Hi, how many problems were asked to solve in 100 mins?. May you please tell me more about interview or some resources which can be helpful in both coding round & interview.
