Ruby Developer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The initial phone screen was a friendly chat with the hiring person at OpenTable.
Questions asked included:
- Why would you like to work here?
- Tell me about yourself.
- Can you highlight some of the projects that you've done?
The second call was a technical screen with an engineer that was looking for a person to join his team.
The engineer asked three interview questions. The questions were asked in a confusing, cryptic way. In hindsight, two were about SQL optimization and one was about CSS.
