The first two managers called for a phone screen and basically wanted to know how interested I was. Then I was called back for the final interview, which was 30 minutes with each of the two managers, and then 30 minutes with the team.
The team interview was chill; don't worry about that one.
The interview with the two managers was half behavioral and half logic/riddles. They absolutely did not go over my resume at all, which was a bit strange, and it seemed their decision was based on the logic questions.
Each manager asked two logic questions; they are common riddles you can Google.
It was a bit annoying because I believe anyone can get the answer within 10 minutes at most, but there's definitely the pressure to get the answer within a minute.
What was really annoying is that these were popular riddles, so if someone got it right, it could have just been because they heard it before.
Riddle 1: A nail and hammer cost 1.10 together. The hammer costs a dollar more. How much does the nail cost?
A: 5 cents. Easy.
Riddle 2: You have 8 balls and an old-school scale. All the balls weigh the same except for one, which is heavier. How do you find out which one is the heaviest? You can only use the scale twice.
ANS: Makes sense once you hear it. Common riddle. Google for answer.
Riddle 3: 3 light switches. Find out which one connects to the lightbulb in the other room.
ANS: Also common, but you use the temperature of the light bulb.
Riddle 4: 3 people. Is an unmarried person looking at a married person?
ANS: Yes.
