The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hootsuite (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
1.HR interview: questions that don’t really matter tbh.. how do I deal with a conflict with another employee. Pretty pointless questions.
2. Technical interview: This is done really well. Interviewer is friendly and the questions are relevant to the position. It’s short and to the point.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hootsuite in Aug 2024
Interview
Call from a recruiter, the you get a take home test with a 2 hour time limit. Recruiter forgot to send me the take home test and I had to ask for it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Here is the take home test:
In this challenge you are going extend an existing application. This application lets users select an image associated with a word. It may not have many real-world applications but it does provide some interesting challenges.
Your task is to implement a couple of features:
* The UI is almost ready but we are missing an important piece: showing the images. Your first task is to finish implementing the UI so that the user can see the images on the screen.
* After completing the first task you should see a word and four images. Your next task is to select a new word and a new set of images. But keep these rules in mind:
- Select a new word at random from the set of possible words by pressing the refresh button. Use a different word than the one currently displayed. For example, if you were showing Dog, don't show Dog the next time, but afterwards is fine.
- Show all images that match the display tag.
Keep in mind
- Treat this as you would treat any day-to-day task at work. This includes committing to git (locally) and testing where appropriate.
- Worry only about iPhone in portrait mode.
- Use your best coding practices, but done is better than perfect.
- iPhone 8 is the UI of the project. (UI doesn't need to be pixel perfect)
