Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

After you apply, you'll be sent an online assessment. Mine was 2 questions, both string parsing. The first one passed, the second one was extremely involved and I didn't finish it, but I still got through to the next round.

Then a recruiter will reach out via email so you can schedule a technical interview. The interview is, I believe, 60 minutes, but may have been 45 – I can't remember.

You log onto a shared code pad. The interviewer describes the question, and you code live while talking through it on the phone. You can choose pretty much any language. You must create your own input/test cases. You have whatever time is remaining to ask questions or talk to the interviewer.

Questions

The online assessment was all string parsing. The tech interview was a simple graph problem.
