Entrevista
Coding challenge sent via email (easy difficulty).
Recruiter then set up a phone call to find out more about my background.
Phone interview scheduled the week after, 2 algorithms questions (1 easy difficulty, 1 medium difficulty). About 45 minutes for the full call.
Onsite visit scheduled for a couple weeks later. 3 interviews to go through at the onsite. One algorithms, one solving problems in an existing codebase, and one design/personality. No interview with a manager. Each interview had someone shadowing.
They also gave an hour-long introduction about the company before the interviews, lunch after the interviews, and a product showcase after that. Since they make you sign an NDA, they go into detail about their products.
The engineers here are highly judgemental. They were satisfied with all my problem solving skills (I even finished some problems earlier than they expected), but some were unenthusiastic about it. They didn't even show any interest when I mentioned that I knew about some of the tools the company's made. Every person I met working there said they chose the company because "they solve real world problems" (literally the same answer from each person).
The interior design of the HQ office is a bit depressing. Felt more like a law firm than a tech company.
Some of the applications the company has created are impressive, but they’re built with older technology. Their reasoning for this is that the government (their biggest client) takes a while to trust newer softwares.
Given an existing codebase in Java, fix certain bugs (one was incorrect logic, one was optimization for speed). They will also plant secret bugs in the code that they don't mention to see if you'll pick those up.
Explain how you would go about designing a mobile app that helps a user know how dangerous an animal is. Consider real life scenarios like no wifi accessibility.
