      Server Programmer Interview

      Feb 23, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2012

      Interview

      Pocket Gems did a presentation at my school's job fair last year. I wanted to finish up a research project before starting interviews. I interviewed at Pocket Gems and four other technology companies. All of the questions were sort of similar. The first phase was a 90 minute phone screen with an programmer. Next was talking with a hiring manager about where a good fit would be, which we decided would probably be server programming (backend). Then I went to their office for a full day of interviews. The questions were all programming focused.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      How would you refactor this piece of code here? [The interviewer had a printout of some legendarily bad code. The point of the question was to point out all of the mistakes and re-write it.]
      Answer question

      Question 2

      How many functions are there in the NSObject class in Objective-C?

      Question 3

      How would you cut a rectangular cake into two equal pieces when a rectangular piece has already been cut out of it? The cut piece can be of any size and orientation. You are only allowed to make one straight cut.
