Process

The in-person interview process was lengthy, lasting about 5 hours. There are 2 hour-long interviews where you speak one-on-one with a manager in the IT department. There are also 2 hour-and-a-half-long technical portions in which you are given a puzzle to solve.

The puzzles are intended to make you talk your way through a problem with the person conducting the interview. You are allowed to ask them questions and they will even help you by giving you suggestions if you get stuck. You are also allowed to use your laptop to search online for anything that might help you. You are also expected to write code and create a program that when run will complete the goal of the puzzle.

Questions

One of the puzzles was to create a program that would solve a problem in which you have a clock face and 12 coins (4 pennies, 4 nickels, 4 dimes) that you place one by one on the numbers of the clock face. The program has to be able to allow the most possible moves that allow you to place a coin on a number (if you place a penny on the number 1, then your next move will be on the number 2. If you place a nickel on two the next move will be on the number 7. A dime moves you 10 places)
