I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Foodsmart (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Initial phone screen, followed by an on-site that was broken into parts: critical thinking and communication, programming ability, white-boarding design, product sense, & general Q&A. I spoke with senior engineers and mid-level engineers, all with different focuses and interests on the team. I also spoke with a product manager who asked me a lot of questions about product specs and working with other departments. Finally, I spoke with the VP of Engineer, who talked more in-depth about the structure of the team, how engineering fit into the larger company, and his experience as a manager.
Overall, I enjoyed my interview with Zipongo. I ended up declining to work there because other companies I was interviewing at ultimately seemed more appealing to me personally, but Zipongo felt like a fine place to work at.

Question 1
One of my favorite questions was about a set of circles and coming up with an algorithm to determine intersection points between them.
