October 1, 2017
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied for a software engineer position.

Received a "coding sample" to complete 2-3 weeks later, along with an additional survey to list my skills and preferred work groups.

Was contacted by a recruiter to complete a Google Form with basic information.

Next, I was contacted to set up a phone interview.

The technical interview involved a simple question, which I likely took too long to answer.

About a week later, I was informed by phone that they would not be moving forward with my application.

Approximately a week after being informed of the rejection, I received a survey to provide feedback on the process.

Questions

Coding sample: Time problem. Plants problem.

The number of ways you can sum up a given set of numbers without reusing numbers.
