Process

A recruiter contacted me. From there, a long interview process began, involving:

  • A timed take-home test (3-4 hours) covering interview questions, a code review, and coding challenges.
  • Two phone screens, both utilizing a shared code pad.
  • An on-site interview with several 2-on-1 sessions featuring developers, project managers, and managers. The day also included a tour of the facility.

The on-site interview was in Los Angeles, despite the position being located in Bellevue, WA.

Questions

Given a definition for a rocket part, figure out the total cost for the part. The part has a list of sub-parts, as well as the cost of production/assembly from sub-parts.
