Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Online Assessment, 3 questions, not too hard, but you can't try running it on any real test cases. All they provide are basic examples to test code on. Once you think you're ready, you submit.

After that is a phone screen, which is basically all trivia questions about concurrency and the programming language you did your online assessment in. I thought this was a big waste of time because all the questions are basically definitions or minute details about how things work that all would be Google-able on the job in 2 seconds, so this whole interview felt contrived.

Questions

Define object-oriented programming, concurrency, and threading.
