      Java Software Development Intern Interview

      Apr 3, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bloomington, MN
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Bloomington, MN) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      The entire process lasted 6 weeks. There was an initial phone interview with a HR person regarding some basic background information. Next, there was a 4 hour long tour which includes testing assessment, technical interview and a manager interview. Overall, that went well. I received a second round interview with the project manager where I was asked further behavioral questions. However, I realized the interview was shortly terminated after I answer a political question and a question about my race. I was rejected a week later. Please be smart and try to avoid/neutralize the political/race questions because I made that mistake. Compliment: Their HR is extremely quick in answering emails which I very much appreciated.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is more important: Efficiency or Creativity? Find the most efficient way to use a balance to find the heavier ball amongst the 9 balls where the other 8 balls are of equal weight.
