Process

The interview was extremely simple. I honestly thought that I was being punked at some points in the interview. I was interviewed by several people at the same time. I am 99% sure that the lead interviewer was tripping on acid. He would randomly ask questions that made NO SENSE at all. For instance, while asking a question on building a data structure in C++, he started giving me hints.

The problem was, the hints were lines out of Dr. Seuss' Cat In the Hat book. The other interviewers were stony-faced through all of this and did not come to my rescue at all. It was very unsettling.

Questions

Describe your ideal day at the office.

There was a question about building a data structure of hashed values for lookup globally. I don't remember the exact syntax of the question. Stoner dude was reading it off a piece of paper and he kept getting distracted and holding the paper up to the light and shaking it whilst mumbling something about ants.
