Process
Applied online.
Attempted coding assessment test.
- 2 JavaScript problems to solve
- 1 problem for error correction
1-hour technical round with basic C# and SQL questions.
(These questions should have been based on the coding assessment, but the interviewer only asked about error correction, not the other 2 JavaScript problems.)
After this round, I received feedback that the team is looking for strong problem-solving skills. However, I was asked mostly technical questions about databases and programming languages. I'm not sure how they judged problem-solving skills.
Questions
Basic SQL:
Difference between TRUNCATE and DELETE?
Difference between VARCHAR and CHAR?
