      Web Developer Interview

      Sep 6, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2009

      Interview

      In-person interview was two hours altogether. The first hour was spent taking a pen-and-paper skills test, covering HTML and CSS (e.g. what's wrong with this stylesheet?), Perl (e.g. write a few lines of code to open a file and read some lines), XML/XSLT (e.g. write some really basic XSL template), JavaScript (e.g. miscellaneous short answers), and very light Java (e.g. what's the difference between String and StringBuffer?). Second hour was two face to face interviews, one with the manager and the second with a senior developer. Pretty generic stuff... what's the most difficult challenge you've ever faced, how do you work in a team environment, etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write an XSLT template that will read in a given block of XML data and display portions of it. Required you to understand recursion.
