      Lead Software Development Engineer In Test Interview

      May 12, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Skytap (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      30 minute phone screen with hiring manager discussed my experience, interests, and other questions to assess team fit. Next round was a 72 hour take home assignment. Unlike other coding assignments, they wanted me to write a RESTful client that interacted with their management API. This was one of my least favorite programming tasks for an interview, not because it was difficult, but I had to write a whole application, but there was nothing interesting about it. My application invoked something similar to C.R.U.D for virtual environments, tested the resulting state, handle command line arguments, logging, etc. etc. A Jr. level coder could have banged this out with a modern IDE. I would have preferred a smaller scope, but more complex CS algorithm assignment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Using the REST API described in the Help that’s available online, write a program using Java, C#, Python or Ruby to: Run an environment (i.e. run all virtual machines (VMs) in an environment) Suspend an environment Resume a suspended environment Power off an environment Please write test cases in code or document.
