Senior Software Developer Interview

Aug 7, 2016

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Negative experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jul 2016

Interview

More specifically, this was for the role of NDIS Senior Software Developer. I received a HackerRank challenge with 3 questions and a 90 minute limit. The input arguments to the questions questions were worded in a misleading way, and I had to use trial-and-error to determine the correct input and/or output data types. I did fairly well as determined by the number and percentage of passing tests, but I received a rejection email anyway.

Interview questions [3]

Question 1

Given a positive integer N, write a function to return a list of the first N fibonacci numbers in order. For example, if N=5, the output list is 0 1 1 2 3.

Question 2

GIven a list of strings, return a list of strings of equal length. For each input string, if it is an IPv4 address, output "IPv4". If an IPv6 address, output "IPv6". If neither, output "Neither".

Answer question

Question 3

Given a list of integers A and an integer k, return the number of unique pairs of integers in A that sum to k. For example, if A=[1 2 5 5 10 8 2] and k=10, the answer is 2, arrived as 5+5 or 2+8. There were 15 tests for this question, with at least the last two timing out, given that the implementation was not as efficient as possible.

Interview

Two phone interviews with coding on Hackerrank code pair and on site. On site I had 2 rounds with two interviewers in each round . First round went well . It was more of design discussion and how to implement a message processing system. In the second round one of the interviewers was obnoxious. It was a bad experience in the second round. I was sent out after this round. Over all it was a neutral experience
