Verseon Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Fremont, CA (took 2 days)

I had two phone interviews for a scientist position at Verseon. The first was with a recruiter who asked general questions about my scientific background and computational/mathematical skills. Following this I had an interview with the hiring scientist. In this interview I was asked in more detail about scientific programming skills- what languages had I coded in, how many lines was the largest code I had written, as well as questions about the types of simulations I had worked on (molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics). I was also given a number of puzzles. For example: suppose you have a lighter two ropes that will each burn for one hour if lit from one end. How would you measure a time of exactly 45 minutes?
