      Freelance Backend Developer - Python Interview

      29 May 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Motley Fool in May 2024

      Interview

      I had a phone screen with internal recruiter which was on a Friday, then a panel with hiring manager, data engineer and lead developer the following Monday. This was a one and done interview. The interview was laid back, but I got the impression from the beginning that when they saw me, I wasn't liked by the lead engineer. Maybe ageism or that I was from the United States?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is the difference between a thread and a process in Python. From the books you have read about best practices, what is the key thing that you have taken out of it. Other questions about Python and stuff I have built in the past.
