At this point, I have only taken the skills assessment portion of the interview, which is what I assume interviewees are most worried about.

I applied for the position and soon received an email to schedule the 30-minute preliminary phone interview. Soon after, within the next day, I received another email to take the Rembrandt personality test and to schedule my skills assessment test.

The personality test took about 20-30 minutes; nothing technical here. They are just trying to get to know you better. Don't stress it.

The skills assessment test is comprised of three parts:

• 2-minute test to answer as many questions out of 10 as you can. These were all easy, math- and logic-based questions. Nothing intense here.
• Made-up programming language section: You are presented with a made-up programming language with specific rules and syntax. This section contains a series of 20 questions that progressively become more complex. Many trick questions towards the end. I don't remember the time limit for this section, but they assess speed vs. accuracy; keep that in mind.
• Real programming: You are given a set of 4 easy/medium Leetcode-style questions to answer. I think you have 3 hours here? I don't remember. My majors weren't in CS, so I have limited programming experience. As a result, these questions were a little difficult for me. However, I was able to answer all of the questions using real code and some pseudocode. Not much you can do to prepare for these except for learning how to perform permutations and recursion in your chosen programming language. These were tools that would have made the questions (three out of the four) much easier had I known how to implement them. You are not provided test cases for any of the questions, and you cannot run your code to see if it is working properly.

One question involved finding the date of the next leap year. Another one involved finding an anagram of a word, except you can't move around capital or non-alphanumeric characters.
