Question 1
Modified FizzBuzz, with different scenarios about it, example: How would you improve FizzBuzz speed if it needs to be called 1,000,000,000 times a day?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Slalom in May 2022
Interview
The recruiters were great. However, in my opinion, the tech screeners lost all interest once they saw that I am over 40. Additionally, the tech screening case was sent to me 20 minutes before the interview. To be fair, they might have been trying to gauge how well I can think on my toes, but I found that to be unusual.

Interview
I had a great interview process! Recruiter was very responsive and the people I interviewed with were awesome. I was told I got positive feedback from the interviewers but they aren’t hiring for the position until the find a director for the team. I feel like it was a way to tell me they aren’t interested.
