Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why would be better for a student to attend classes online?
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Trala (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2023
Interview
1. Screened via third party recruiter
2. Interview One - 30 minute intro conversation with one of the engineers who manages the interview process
3. Hard Skills Test - 3 hours to complete involving. The test is self-created and Trala does not use a third-party system like HackerRank or Codility
4. Second Interview - Meet with other team members, the hiring manager, etc.
I didn't progress beyond the hard skills test. From my experience, the level of effort was difficult to achieve in the timeframe, I estimate I needed another 4 hours to complete the number of requirements with the appropriate tests. I did lose some time building my solution as I had to configure a workspace for the demo project, if I had to do it over again, I would have set up that workspace ahead of time.
I also wish these kinds of tests provided feedback so I could understand how to improve my skills.
