Process

There was a screening phone interview where I talked to a software engineer about what he liked about the job and what my background is.

Then, there was a skills assessment. It consisted of riddles like "You have 2 coins. One of them is not a nickel. The value of the coins is 55 cents. What coins do you have?" and the answer is supposed to be you have one nickel and one 50-cent coin. One of them is not a nickel, but the other one could be! Ohhh, so tricky!

Another part of the skills assessment was questions about a proprietary programming language they use. You had to reason about what certain commands would do, after they gave you an explanation of constructs in the language.

One other big problem with the skills assessment was that they used super invasive proctoring software to make sure you weren't cheating. The entire process felt a little antagonistic, like they did not trust you to be honest.

After that was the final interview. This consisted of a group meeting where they tried to sell their campus and the location. They actually did a pretty good job of making it look nice. They also showcased some of their software so you could see what kinds of problems you might be working on.

After that was a meeting with HR and a one-on-one assessment with an engineer.
