Process
Applied online.
Was quickly given a brief, 30-question coding exam. The questions were fairly simple, and you were given approximately two minutes for each. They were multiple-choice.
This was a little frustrating as their listing had not required proficiency in specific languages, but the questions were in Python, Java, C, HTML/CSS, and Ruby. Most of them were guessable with some basic programming knowledge, but a few did require knowledge of the language's syntax and idiosyncrasies.
Was told the position had been filled a few days after completing the quiz.
Questions
Pretty basic questions, such as:
- Find the error in this code.
- What does this code do?
- What is the value of x after this code executes?
I had some trouble with the Ruby questions, as I don't know Ruby, and a C pointer question.
Was this helpful?
