I applied for entry level software engineer position.
They sent me a coding challenge after 3 days of applying.
You have 45 mins to answer 3 questions which I think is fair.
I didn't complete the coding test so I won't proceed to the next step in the interview process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The coding challenge is very very vague and poorly written.
They ask you something, then explain something else.
I had a hard time understanding what they want me to return in each of the coding challenge.
Though, the company seems like a nice company to work for.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Factual in May 2019
Interview
1. Online coding test
2. HR phone screening
3. Technical Phone interview.
The online coding challenge was fairly easy. Two LeetCode easy questions in 45 minutes. About an hour later after I completed the coding test, HR asked me to schedule a phone call. Talked over the phone one week later, HR walked through the interview process. The technical phone interview was one week after the call. The interviewer asked me how to implement a thread-safe read and write functions in Java. Used synchronized keyword in both functions, and the interviewer asked alternative solution to the problem. Suggested int counter for writers and readers. I think I did well, but didn't advance to the final round on-site interview.
