Software Developer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online for a Software Developer Internship. They contacted me a month and a half later to schedule a phone interview.
I was interviewed by a current software engineer working for them for 5 years. The interviewer was accurate with the appointment's time and was a very nice guy.
Questions
The interviewer checked my knowledge of everything you can think of about OOP. The technical question was to get all pairs in a sequence of numbers S whose sum was some other specific number N.
For example:
S = {2, 4, 6, 1}, N = 8
Your output should be (2, 6), because 2 + 6 = 8.

- 1.0Monopoly Waste, Cultish BureaucracySoftware Developer • Former EmployeePrinceton, New Jersey, United StatesJanuary 19, 2015Pros: Free food, which is not all that great. A monopoly position in its market helps allow for massive wastage of resources (see below).Cons: Innumerable. Huge bureaucracy, ritualistic, cult-like atmosphere, bizarre Big Brother monitoring everywhere. Does everyone really need to know where and when you badged in and out? Entire teams that do little to nothing. Regular need to tell managers to pi** off when they attempt to bully you. Mind-numbingly boring work. Early 1980s technology hasn't changed a bit. And lastly, now that the owner has returned, having exhausted his political adventure, it is like Odysseus returning to Ithaca, and there will be major lettings go, new joiners first.
