I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Global Shop Solutions (Houston, TX) in Jan 2019
Interview
I was in a room of 6 interviewers all asking behavioral questions. All pretty standard questions about my experience. The technical interview was quite different. I was given 3 tests that were all fairly different.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given 3 tests. One was a logic test true or false style. The second was to give step by step instructions on how to tie a shoelace. The last was to psuedo code a system that pulled data from a database and files.

Interview
I initially got an email to call them and schedule an interview. When I called them, it felt like they were reading off a list of appointments and asked me which one I could come in for—icy reception.
I showed up 20 minutes early. The interviewer was on time. I was taken to a room with two other people where they introduced themselves and got started.
The interview ended with an office tour and technical assessment.
1. Instructions to tie a shoelace
2. Widget Evaluation: design a screen for users to enter measurements for a product then write the pseudocode of the program to calculate the price of the user input and send the discounted receipt to another file. (needs to handle exceptions)
I was told they would contact me in 2 weeks, but they did not respond to my thank you email and neither to my follow-up email.
Very unprofessional and seemed like they were doing me a favor with the interview.
