Software Developer Interview Experience - Champaign, Illinois
Process
I applied for a software developer intern position in April 2016. I only took a coding challenge. Since I had not prepared for this test, I failed.
I suggest you review some data structures and do some similar coding questions beforehand.
Questions
There are multiple-choice questions and coding assignments.
I recall the multiple-choice questions involved complexity computation and comparing several sorting methods.
The coding assignment was to quickly sort a set of numbers in a specific order (e.g., from largest to smallest). Your computation complexity and time will be considered for scoring.

Akuna Capital Work Experiences
- 1.0Big promises, no deliverySoftware Developer • Current EmployeeChampaign, Illinois, United StatesOctober 11, 2014Pros: Startup vibe, some friendly people, trading – if you are into it.Cons: Disorganized, no one really knows what is going on. Promised I could work remotely upon hire, but that fell through. Apparently, they did this to another intern before. Promised to keep me for a few more months but randomly fired me without reason. Seriously, no one gave me a reason. They said at-will employment means they could fire me any time they wanted. Apparently, I am not the only intern they have done this to. They hire in big batches and then weed through them.
