I think this might be the goofiest job interview process I've had to date. Had a phone screen. Brain wasn't working that day so I stumbled on some logic. Was supposed to have a phone screen with the hiring manager but missed it due to another interview that overlapped. Sent emails to several recruiters but they gave me silent treatment. Seems like a toxic company so I dodged a bullet. Don't interview here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Build a parking lot. They weren't so concerned about the OOPs structure, they just cared about returning the amount of money you would charge someone for parking there for a certain amount of time. They gave a three-tier parking pricing structure. 0-6hr was free. 6-10 was $3 and 10-24hr was $1. They wanted to know how much you would charge someone for parking for a certain set of time ranges.
Recruiter phone screen, followed by a timed coding challenge, then a take-home project to demonstrate real-world skills, and finally a panel interview with multiple engineers assessing technical depth, collaboration, and communication.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Life360 (Toronto, ON) in May 2024
Interview
- Application:
The application process was straightforward. I applied through their website and received a confirmation email shortly after. A recruiter reached out to me via email to schedule a phone interview. The recruiter provided an overview of the interview stages which were Phone Screen, Technical Interview, Problem-Solving Interview, Pair Programming, Architecture Interview and Engineering Fit Interview.
During these interviews, many questions were regarding my past experiences and how I handled various work situations.
