Difficult Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 weeks)

The hiring manager contacted me after I gave my resume to college recruiter in the school career fair. During the career fair, the company was one of the most popular companies that students wanted to turn resume in (after Facebook, Google, Amazon, Linkedin). In first phone call, I was given opportunity to talk about resume, and some basic questions. It seems like the company is growing fast and looking for a lot of bright smart engineers.
After the phone interview, they invited me to the Indianapolis for the on-site interview. They first gave me a tour, which showed various part of the building. The work environment seems to be excellent. They provide an office for each developer (this is the big plus). Also, they have google-like perks and places to exercise and take a rest inside of the building. As a matter of fact, they seems to own 2~3 buildings. It is really one of the best places to work in Indiana. Also their benefits and perks are very competitive against other companies.
After the tour, I did some on-site interview with team leads. It was fun and they gave me interesting questions to solve. After the interview, they gave me a call for the verbal offer next day.
The offer was competitive considering the company is in Indianapolis which has low cost of living.
I was almost gonna accept the offer but waited for a while because it was quite early in the job searching process.
Unfortunately, I did not accept the offer due to location reason. However, it was really pleasure experience to go through interview process with them. Everyone that I have met from career fair, recruiter, and lead developers were nice and kind.

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)

I was contacted by a recruiter who did a basic screen, then I took a brainbench exam and did well, then I had a technical phone interview that was simply 30 minutes of him saying words while I gave answers. Finally I went to the HQ and had a few interviews. I was never told the format of any interview, so I went into each blind. The group interview asked several questions that went okay, but then they wanted me to write code in notepad without VS or intellisense. That threw me off. Of course I came up with a better solution once I got home, but too late. I think it's totally rediculous to expect people to code a tricky problem in notepad while they stare at you. I'll be ready next time, but ININ is too uptight for me.

Interview Questions

Using notepad only, write a method that will take a string and return a char. The method should return the char of the most used character in the string. if there is a tie, return the first char in the sequence with the most used characters.
