College: Not Specified

Interview Date: March 5, 2025

Interview Type: Full-Time

Result: Rejected

Difficulty: Hard

Rounds: 1 round (Online Assessment)

Topics Asked: Coding (Order Book implementation)

Experience:

This candidate received an online assessment (OA) for a Software Engineer role at Da Vinci Derivatives.

Round 1: Online Assessment (OA)
The OA was received on March 4th and completed on March 5th. It consisted of "only 1 coding question with a time limit of 3hrs" and the candidate believed it was "about completing the order book" (in C++). Despite "passing all the test cases," the candidate was ultimately rejected. Other users on the platform described the OA as "crazy to do all of that in three hours" and mentioned struggling with the "last part" of the question, even suggesting the test case might have been bugged.

Overall Experience: The experience highlights the high bar at Da Vinci, where even passing all test cases in a challenging online assessment does not guarantee progression to the next stage.
