I applied online. I interviewed at Fast Enterprises
Interview
I applied on LinkedIn and received an email about a week later scheduling a phone interview. The phone interview was easy (getting to know you questions with a few technical at the end).
I was contacted by email a few days later to schedule a 3 hour interview. The interview took place over Microsoft Teams (due to COVID) and was split into three major parts.
The first part was HR and relocation based questions. The interviewers then sent me a link to a 30 question logic quiz and gave me 30 min to complete it. The questions were about what you would expect from a company trying to copy google (word unscrambling, pattern solving, find the similar quote etc...). Some of these questions were easy but a few were pretty difficult. I'm not sure if they expected me to be able to answer them all in just 30 minutes.
After I submitted my quiz, a Software Engineer entered the meeting and interviewed me for about 2 hours straight asking me everything from technical to managerial to more HR questions. I was also given the opportunity to ask questions about the job. I was asked to write a couple pseudo code functions about halfway through.
The Software Engineering interviewer ended things by having me solve three difficult logic problems. These caught me off guard since they had even less to do with coding than anything I had been asked to do so far.
After I was finished with the Software Engineering interviewer, the other interviewers did their final round of interview questions and answered any questions I had.
The whole process was tedious and left me exhausted. The second I turned off the meeting, I began to reconsider if I wanted the job after all. Their interview structure seemed to be copying google with the numerous logic questions (which google stopped doing years ago btw).
I personally think that the interviewers would have gotten a much better idea of my skills if they simply asked me more questions related to programming. Besides the two pseudo code questions, I feel like I was barely asked about Computer Science concepts at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview:
- What is inheritance?
- How would you explain inheritance to a child?
- Difference between passing argument as value or reference ?
3 hour interview:
- If a cube is made of 1000 smaller cubes, how many cubes are on the surface?
- You have a 4 minute and a 7 minute hourglass, how do you count to 9 minutes exactly?
- If you have 25 horses and can only race 5 at a time, how do you determine the three fastest horses in 7 races (without a stopwatch)?
Pseudo code:
- write a program to determine if a new appointment will overlap with a pre-existing appointment.
- write a program to tally a how many 'a' characters are in a given string.
The HR and managerial questions were pretty standard and focused heavily on relocation.
Multilevel, looking to discern your ability to think outside of the box. There was a technical assessment component, and an IQ-like set of questions. You can be called into multiple interviews if you are seen as a potential. Moving is emphasized in the interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Fast Enterprises in Mar 2026
Interview
During the phone call interview, they asked multiple questions about what I was looking for. They also talked about the specific job that I am applying for. It was only about a 10 to 15 minute phone call.
I interviewed at Fast Enterprises (Tennessee City, TN)
Interview
Straight forward process, HR is very helpful in clearing up questions fast. Technical questions are perfect difficulty as they understand knowing leetcode is not everything and they want someone with a balance of dealing with clients and the technical skill.
