      Python Engineer Interview

      Apr 5, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LINE (Tokyo) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      A recruiter from Spring contacted me. He introduced himself as a Chinese and arranged an online coding test. He also emailed me a transcription of the hardest coding question, so that I could solve it beforehand. I passed and went to the Shinjuku office. Two foreigners interviewed me. One introduced himself as "a Filipino". No names were exchanged; it was all very cold and detached. Extremely traditional atmosphere, very vertical. They said there were a lot of Koreans that work in the Tokyo headquarters. No surprise, given that LINE is owned by Naver, a Korean company. Korean work culture is worse than Japanese, I hear. The job was front-end and had little to do with Python; I am a backend dev, so it was a waste of time.

      Question 2

      Find the Nth fibonacci number.

      Question 3

      To see if a number is divisible by 3, you need to add up the digits of its decimal notation, and check if the sum is divisible by 3. To see if a number is divisible by 11, you need to split its decimal notation into pairs of digits (starting from the right end), add up corresponding numbers and check if the sum is divisible by 11. For any prime p (except for 2 and 5) there exists an integer r such that a similar divisibility test exists: to check if a number is divisible by p, you need to split its decimal notation into r-tuples of digits (starting from the right end), add up these r- tuples and check whether their sum is divisible by p. Given a prime int p, find the minimal r for which such divisibility test is valid and output it. The input consists of a single integer p - a prime between 3 and 999983, inclusive, not equal to 5. Example input: 3 output: 1 input: 11 output: 2
