      Sofetware Engineer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Turbonomic in Aug 2018

      Interview

      I had worked for over a decade with several persons at Turbonomic in a former employer so I do not think I really needed any poking at. They knew my plusses and minuses. But I got detail tested on one technology I failed because not recently used, And I got failed on a logic probe which was cute but not relevant to anything, after about 4 hours other interviewing. Obviously I was not hired. So if you interview with Turbonomic be up to date on whatever technology they're going to want you to instant-code in (I was never a Usain Bolt coder) and know the tricks of finding palindromes in a random character string. 40+ years experience carefully writing low-bug code in numerous languages and helping customers and coworkers with their problems not enough, at least if you are not a good self-salesperson, which I did not enter the interview thinking would be my only possibly successful tactic for getting hired. I had not interviewed for any job for 18+ years and I was not prepared. So I guess I got what I deserved. I wish them all the best in what looks like a very challenging product mission. The office was lovely and well fringe-benefitted, so it looked like a nice place to work.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Find all the palindromes in a rendom character string.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      To code a significant front and back end modification to a web application. I only had front end experience anyway, even if I had been up on the technology used.
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      There were two other more "essay question" discussion type interviewers, but I forget them in my discouragement at having miserably failed the two specific tests.
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      I don't remember. I mainly remember the two tests for which I was grossly unprepared. The coding problem I would in reality have eventually figured out, coded, and tested *thoroughly*. The logic problem might have taken longer since my experience was more data processing than computer science. But, again, these people knew who I was from working with some of them for over a decade, so why did they need to test me? They could have said hire or no hire without having any interview.
