After asking the details of my current role, he only gave me a simple coding question. Write a function using C++ or Java that is passed an integer and it returns the number of bits set to 1. Is there a way to improve your solution and make it faster and more efficient?

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Newton, MA)

Interview

There was no smalltalk or soft skills question. They immediately went right to the hardcore computer science skills questions to test knowledge and thought processes. After meeting three engineers, an HR representative spoke to me and let me know they were not interested in pursuing me at the time, but that I was welcome to reapply in the future.
