I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kount
Interview
Immediately shifted into an archaic coding interview that wasn't well defined. Solved the problem in the most efficient way, however I couldn't give exact definitions for keywords (some of which are no longer in the JDK) even though I remembered their concept, and that alone knocked me out. They don't care about ability to do the work and instead have a hazing process of "prove you're smarter than me".

Question 1
Give exact definition of keyword X that's no longer used.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kount (Boise, ID) in Mar 2017
Interview
Quite a few red flags. For the phone screen, money immediately came up and living elsewhere was hinted at being a strike against me.
Even more bizarrely, the Software Engineering Manager I spoke with said that when next I visited town, I should swing by for an interview, I mistakenly believed this to be in good faith so I emailed to verify.
I was told there were no longer any positions available (even though there were two listed on Kount's website), and I was told I could still stop by. In the event you see something about jobs at Kount online, they're probably doing data collection and not actually hiring anyone.
