Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Resume related questions, classes you take at school, teamwork experience
I was sent an online assessment several weeks after applying and was expected to solve three problems within three hours. All questions were all related to stocks and trading, so I thought it was relevant to the company.
I applied online. I interviewed at PIMCO (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2021
Interview
A coding interview followed by an in-person interview. The coding interview was on HackerRank and was hard to debug because it had hidden test cases that one couldn't view. The coding interview covered SQL and Java. It included arrays and dictionaries. The last question was a stock trading scenario and was quite interesting and challenging to solve.
