Process

I completed an initial phone screen but had difficulty scheduling a phone interview. However, through Grace Hopper, I was invited directly to the Pre-Hop day. During this event, I was interviewed by two people in the morning and two people in the afternoon.

The coding questions themselves were not difficult, though one interviewer was not entirely clear about his expectations. Another interviewer provided excessive assistance on a logic problem, which made me question whether she believed I was incapable of solving it independently.

Other than these specific points, it was a great experience to get to know the employees.

Questions

I was asked to solve a brain teaser involving chess. I think it had to do with the start and end positions.
