Yozu interview questions

An initial chat telephone interview followed by a slightly more in depth video interview with a technical guy who asked some good, sensible questions. 3rd stage is a full day evaluation at their city centre Liverpool offices, where you are to complete a technical task. The technical task is given in advance, and states that it is language / platform agnostic and you should use the platform you are most comfortable with. Despite being told my ruby on rails was very rusty in the interview, when I expressed that I would be completing the task using another platform I was more familiar with (PHP laravel) it was expressed that it would be to my disadvantage, they wanted it in rails. Irritated that I spent time heading into Liverpool to find that it wasn't what was expected and their advance information was misleading. Also slightly worried that despite describing themselves as 'remote first' the Liverpool office was very busy. It is an old fashioned large, open plan, rows of desks, noisy environment (they also had 2 dogs running around, whether that's a plus or minus is up to you!), and not what I expected from a business focused on software development ( but it could be that the office itself is more of a sales / admin focus ). The tech guy in the interview seemed like someone I would like to work with, but people should be warned, despite what you are told, they are looking for people focussed on rails, who can hit the ground running on rails. They are not looking to take on good brains and let them spend any time getting back up to speed.

30 min were devoted to Questions on DSA , 20 min were devoted to questions on resume projects and then 10-15 min for HR. The interview was easy. Listen to the questions carefully and you will be able to solve it.
