Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online in October.

Received notification from HR in January.

Then, I had a non-technical HR phone screen.

Unfortunately, I did not get through this interview.

There were two portions to this interview:

First, some typical behavioral questions, such as describing the hardest project.

Then, there were some unusual questions, like what is the most number of lines of code you've written in one project and what language you are most familiar with.

Finally, the brain teaser question: the nine ball problem. It's a common puzzle found online.

Questions

What's the most number of lines of code you've written in one project?
