HR emailed me a link to two tests: a lengthy IQ test and a shorter personality test. HR then scheduled a pair programming interview. (Still no contact with a human being). The description of the programming interview was that we would pair up to so
1. Recruiter screen, pair programming phone screen 2. Loop: * Pair programming * System design * Life story with recruiter * Project deep dive * Online assessment on aptitude and behavior Took 2 weeks overall.
Quick call with HR to check the background. Quick code challenge. Life story. Two pair programming sessions to solve challenges that are solvable within a simple function (but they want to see how many OOP concerns you apply to simple code). Tech
