Software Engineer Interview Experience - Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Process
First, I had a telephone discussion with the hiring manager. Then, HR quickly sent me an email to schedule an on-site interview.
The on-site visit lasted about 3.5 hours. It started with a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager and his manager. Then, there were three rounds of technical interviews, with two developers (or testers) at a time.
After the technical discussions, someone from HR came in to discuss the next steps in the process, my salary expectations, and upsell the company.
I was not given an offer, and I received an automated note telling me I was not a candidate soon after the face-to-face interview.
Questions
Two trains, each moving at 20 miles per hour towards each other, are initially 60 miles apart. A bee starts at the front of one train, flies to the other train, then back to the first train, and so on. If the bee always flies at 30 miles per hour, how far does the bee fly before the trains collide?
