Process

I applied in mid September and received an invite to take a Pymetrics assessment. About one week after taking the Pymetrics assessment, I was invited for two 45 minute back to back technical interviews with senior engineers. The interviewers were nice and helped guide me through the problems.

Questions

  1. The first interviewer asked a fairly open-ended question about determining the time it takes to travel from home to work given you leave home at some time t. The parameters and information regarding the problem were very, very open-ended, and the question was done with the interviewer on Google Docs.

  2. The second interviewer asked to determine whether a completed crossword puzzle was possibly correct, given a matrix (representing the crossword) and a dictionary of words.
