I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SlideShare (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
A very hands on interview. Gave me a problem to code in (Ruby on Rails), and let me work on it for about 30 minutes before checking on me again. It involved ActiveRecord stuff.
Interviewer was friendly and also set out to teach me a thing or two along the way even as I stumbled my way through the interview. A good experience overall regardless of the outcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I didn't have much experience with caching and database querying tricks at the time (e.g. how to avoid N+1 query problem), so I stumbled there.
I received an online link to do the online programming test at the very beginning. It lasts 40 mins and it is not too hard, very basic question. Then I received a call from HR and Skype interview from one technical person, another programming problem, I fail at this. I use too much time to solve the problem.
