Senior Applications Developer Interview Experience
Process
I received a very informal email to take a coding exam on HackerRank. The “exam” was a fairly simple scenario with several confusingly worded requirements that tested my ability to process a text file of varying inputs and perform CRUD, sort, and print out the results. It was easy enough. I completed the exam without any issues. All tests passed. I felt good about the results, except that was over 21 days ago and I’ve received ZERO communication back from them. I can only assume my solution wasn’t accepted, but the lack of response is a bit unprofessional.
Questions
Simple CRUD, print over a collection. Test entirely unrelated to job listing requirements.
