PickTrace interview questions

Got recruited via LinkedIn. I was invited onsite for my very first interview. Great atmosphere from the second I walked through the door. I was interviewed by the COO and the Director of Operations. By the end of the first interview, I was told I would be moving forward. A few days later I was emailed so we could determine a date and time for the second interview. The second interview was a little over three hours with various members of the team (COO, Chief of Staff, Dir. of Ops, and their current Implementation Manager). I was asked for references and a few days later was offered the job. They even sent an awesome package with chocolates, a bottle of champagne and a hand-written card from the CEO and COO before I accepted!

The interview is a bit different from standard technical interviews. There are still some CS basics like algorithms and structures but they're pretty straightforward and really close to what any regular developer will do on a daily basis. Other parts of the interview actually are more interesting and allow to share the real experience one could have through their career. There is a presentation based on previous experience which could be based on any projects, even open source on GitHub and design and coding session of a semi-real Web API.
