Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems in Oct 2017

Interview

The interview includes one online assessment and three phone interviews. All of them are technology problem, solving algorithm question. For the interviews except for the last round phone interview, it was good, for the last round phone interview, even I solved the algorithm problem properly, I still got denied, which made me really confused.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Since the whole interview includes 3 rounds and one online assessment, I just list problem I remember: 1. Question about reservoir sampling 2. Question about perfect shuffle 3. Given a 01 matrix, find the leftmost 1. e.g: 00111 01111 00011 00001 you should output 1(0-based index)
