Thanks! I was also hoping it would be like that, but I would have been in far deeper soup if they expected the level they do from Software Engineers :-)

If I remember correctly, they did not necessarily care what the language was. I would say know the algorithms and how they work, what the pros and cons are of using two different algorithms to achieve same thing. Like I said in the post, they cared about the thinking process.

I have a question for you – how deep was the algorithms round? I am pretty good with the sysadmin stuff, but I am very rusty with algorightms. I am brushing up with it, but I have no idea on how deep I should be covering that and C/C++ in general. In the initial round, the HR person called out this as a weak point in me.
