February 15, 2017
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Phone screen. The screening was very general on my background and details of projects.

  2. Coding challenge. It was a very classic problem, 60 minutes long in total with two different problems.

  3. Interview with manager. General Computer Science questions on language architecture, syntax, programming methods.

  4. On-site interview. Did not attend as I accepted another offer in the meantime.

Questions

The coding challenge was about finding the longest continuous subsequence of integers in a list.

The first interview covered my background and questions specific to the position. It also included discussions on:

  • Javascript syntax
  • Java language architecture
  • Python mutable and immutable objects
