Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I have been asked to talk about my last year and anything about my other years.
After a few minutes the Indian guy has hushes up to technical questions.
It was putted a laptop in front of my with Google Chrome opened on Developer Tools.
First of all, I was asked to say would be printed on console.log about a trick Javascript Hoisting test. It was a very trick question. In my opinion, it was a question which shows what exactly what they are looking for. For me, they have been looking for a master ninja of Javascript tricks developer, absolutely no sense.
After that, I have been asked for write down a code in a piece of paper to identify in a give string all brackets have been closed in pairs like a HTML tag. Which should return true ou false also, should find bad brackets closed and return false for instante, "AB ] CD [ EF ] GH [ IJ".
By the end, I have been asked to describe how to find out a specific ball between eight balls. The question was: You have eight balls all of the same size. 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance. I should also describe possible outcomes.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Intuit (Woodland Hills, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Quick phone interview with lead went well. Asked me to come in for an in-person interview with the lead developers and then the architect and finally the manager. Asked to prepare a small craft project for the interview. Spent probably 8 hrs on a great PHP site which was perfect for a small website, only to be told it needed to be in Java. The requirements also specify a login so I did a basic email login but they actually wanted full authentication and session management which was also not specified. Similarly I was asked by HR to prepare a 20 min talk but the hiring manager did not seem interested in hearing the presentation. They said I had a week and should have spent a lot longer on the craft project. After a 30 min interview I don't see how anyone could justify spending 2 or 3 days on an interview project. Need to get HR and the hiring manager on the same page regarding the requirements and the interview process. Please just specify the technologies to use and it will be done, or if you want people to choose the right tool for the job then the solution will not be in Java.
