Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne, Australia

June 23, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 1 week.

I applied through a staffing agency in May 2018. First step is a code test done over the weekend. It's a basic RPN calculator with basic math, clear and undo operations. They're looking for modular code with good tests. There's a wording mistake on the test specs that led me to waste time solving a precision issue that wasn't part of the intended problem. Skip that and it's easy.

Questions

The spec which says "at least 15 decimal places of precision" actually should be "at least 15 digits of precision". For a company dealing with financials to make that mistake on a test spec could (and did) waste an applicant's time.
