Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Symend do not do what many companies do with candidates today. Symend get’s to know more about the candidate and have a questions and answer technical interview as it relates to experience and technical depth, which really gives some good insight about the fit. Many companies send out a technical challenge that really adds little value in terms of experience, true problem solving abilities or any relative correlation to future work.
