Interview
2 Coding Challenges, offer immediately after. No phone call or in person meeting was scheduled. The first coding challenge was all logic based, the second was coding tests in Java and Python.
I met with a representative at my school's career fair, who sent me an email with a link to an application for an intern position. The application requested standard information, and soon after, I was given a few coding challenges online.
The first session began with a set of seven debugging questions, for which they allowed me 21 minutes total to solve. The first session also included a 35-minute multiple-choice aptitude test that included Caeser cipher and Vigenère cipher questions along with many logic questions. After completing this session, I received another email after some time for another coding session.
The second coding session was certainly harder than the first session. It consisted of two problem statements for which I had to write functions to solve them. I had 70 minutes in total to complete them.
These coding sessions were all online without me having to interact with anyone. Everything that could have been recorded was recorded, however. They recorded my screen, me, and audio. They also said that they placed restrictions on opening windows/tabs as I was doing the interview (but I didn't try this, so I don't know for sure).
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Implement a function to reverse the second half of a linked list.
There are seven debug questions and thirty logic questions. The debugging questions are fairly easy and shouldn't take that long. The logic questions start off fairly easy and simple but become more detailed and thus take up more time. You have a little over a minute for each logic question.
