Strongarm Software Engineer interview questions

I was referred to Strongarm through one of their employees. Interview comprised of 3 stages. 1: Intro call with Tech management. Basic intro call, asked to share a bit about my background. Learnt about Strongarm's product. 2: Call screen with Engineering manager Had a more in depth conversation around technologies I have used, my experience, work habits and what kind of problems I like to solve. 3: On site interview Total time was 3 - 4 hours (15min Break) 1 Short intro 2 Cultural interviews 2 tech interviews Tech interviews included DB related Q's, Data modeling, Architectural questions and a brief programming exercise on paper.

A phone call followed up by a 2-hour in-person interview in their Brooklyn Navy Yard location. The guys are all nice, but mostly super young -- like 22-24 young, and (IMHO) emo hipsters. Probably not a gig for anyone over 30. Originally they made "exoskeletons" (fancy back braces) but they've transitioned into sensors and selling "safety scores" to FedEx, other warehouse cos. Everyone wears the devices, they look like a Star Trek Away Team. Process was professional but I did wonder about their long-term viability. Just putting a pedometer and gyroscope and a few other doodads is probably not going to predict back injuries (e.g. how heavy are the boxes? sensor can't tell). If you're super young and want a fun startup, go for it. But not for midcareer pros.
