I applied for Software Developer on a Thursday. The day after, I received an email to schedule a phone interview, take a Rembrandt profile (personality test), and schedule the skills assessment test. I took the assessment and personality test on Sunday. I am an INTJ; I'm not sure if that helps or not.

Additionally, I answered 9/10 on the 2-min math section. I probably missed 1 on the math/logic section, did well on the technical learning portion, and did super well on at least 2/4 programming questions, with the other 2/4 being solid attempts (it worked, but probably not the data structure they were looking for). Overall, I felt confident about the test.

A few days later, on Thursday, I had the phone interview where we basically talked about the role and 2 of the projects listed on my resume. Finally, 8 days after the phone interview, I got a rejection email saying they would consider me for any appropriate positions that become available.

The whole process took 15 days. Kind of crazy since I felt confident on the assessment, interview, and personality sections (a lot of trick questions).

Programming question: Write an algorithm that, when given an integer, will produce all possible combinations of that length integer. All digits will be alphabetical, either uppercase or lowercase. The ASCII number equivalents for them were provided as well. However, the combination must be in order and unique.

For example, k=3.

Accepted: abc, abd, abz, aBc, ABc.

Not Accepted: aZd, aDd, Bza, etc.

You need to write a function that produces all possible strings based on the above criteria. This was one of the four programming questions on the assessment.
