Python Junior Dev Interview Experience - United States
Process
I applied online in August 2018 and received a HackerRank coding challenge from Akuna Capital.
This comprised of multiple-choice questions on basic concepts like OOPs, OS synchronization, etc., and 3 coding questions required to be done in Python 2/3. The coding questions were fairly straightforward.
On successfully completing the online assessment, they scheduled a phone screening for me. During the screening, I was asked conceptual questions related to Python.
Questions
What are decorators in Python?
How do you make a Python object callable?
What does the pickle module do in Python?
How does garbage collection work in Python?
