Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
First, there was an OA. Then, two phone interviews with audio only.
After that, you have the virtual onsite, which is a series of four interviews. I was cut after the second.
The first two interviews are technical. The last two should be with the hiring manager.
Questions
You have three sock drawers.
One has red and blue socks, one has blue and green socks, and one has green and red socks.
What is the expected number of socks you must pull to be sure which drawer is which, assuming that the number of socks of each color in each drawer is both large and equal?
