New York, NYPosted Oct 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I encountered an OA that was heavy on SQL and algorithmic coding, including divisibility/counting and bit-pattern sum problems.

Online assessment (3 questions) — One SQL query with two joins, plus two coding problems.
Coding problem 1 — Count triples in an array whose sum is divisible by a given number.
Coding problem 2 — Given powers of two and a target, compute the minimum elements needed to sum exactly to the target. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, and the takeaway was that the coding focused on clever combinatorics and efficient construction logic.
