      Full Stack Web Developer Interview

      4 May 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      McLean, VA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at USA TODAY Co. (McLean, VA) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      Went through a process of several phone calls, the final being part technical screening, part interview with managers. The technical interview was conducting before a panel of developers at gannett as well as in the presence of the hiring managers. Different members of the team took turns coming up with questions and brain teasers for me to answer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical questions included brainteasers such as: 1) You have 2 eggs and a building with 100 stories, what is the most efficient way to determine the highest floor you can drop an egg from? 2) There are 10 soldiers on one side of a river & 2 boys in a small boat on the river. The boat can hold 2 boys, or one soldier- how can all the soldiers be transported across the river? 3) 2 trains are travelling, determine all the possible questions needed to know when they will pass each other fully? 4) how can you determine the angle between the minute hand and hour hand of a watch? Followed by technical questions drawing on knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript. This included questions about writing algorithms to reverse strings, perform searches, etc. Basic algorithm questions really.
