Provo, UTPosted May 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

Recruiting started by setting up a coding interview where the work felt fairly straightforward.

I was asked to write code for some relatively trivial tasks, and I also brought examples of code I’d written before.

The interviewer focused heavily on probing my programming knowledge through lots of follow-up questions. Overall, it didn’t feel like an especially difficult technical process, but it was clearly designed to verify how I thought about programming rather than just whether I could complete a small task.
