About a week after applying I received an online assessment on hacker rank. I expected it to be your usual leetcode questions but it ended up being a build an assembler test.

I applied online. I interviewed at Ocient (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
One two hours OA, the questions were quite different from the regular leetcode problem, not hard but very trivious. One in person interview with two leetcode style technical questions that a lot people already talked: the DNA sequence problem.

Question 1
Leetcode style questions, first question using arraylist and second question developed further with hashset.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ocient (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2020
Interview
I talked to recruiter at a campus career fair and was confirmed for an interview the next day. The interview was 1 hour with a fairly difficult HackerRank. It had 5 parts, each part building off of the previous and he told me from the start that most people don't finish. I managed to finish 3/5 and got an on-site interview a couple weeks later.

Question 1
The HackerRank asked me to design an aggregate function that took in a column (a list) as input and outputted its aggregate (min, max, count, mean, sum). Then the parts after will build on it.
