I haven't heard back yet. I think they do everything in groups, i.e. they select / notify all of the EE's (or whatever area) at once. Since the OF 306 was requested back by the 27th, I think it'll still be a few days. I have a hunch that the start date for the incoming class may be after memorial day so hopefully with 1-month notification we will know by Friday. I am EE, detroit. I have a masters in biomedical engineering. UDM / WSU. Less

I did not receive an offer yet. There wasn't an option for that so I just said no offer and figured I could update it later if I did. I did get a follow up email saying the interview went great and asking me if I had any other offers. Less

The above doesn't work if there's a possibility of letters besides the first being capitalized Less

Hi, I am so, so sorry people had such a negative experience with this interview process. This is not to excuse or wave away your experiences in any way, but we had 2 people supporting the needs of ~100 people at Cogo plus another 50+ at the companies currently in our incubator. So it's a small team, they were very overworked, and unfortunately it made it very difficult for them to run the interview process in the way they should have. I've spoken to the manager, so the team is aware of your concerns and experiences. We're growing the group, so everyone will be happier and more relaxed and focused in interviews going forward. And we're continuing to grow the team, so we don't find ourselves in this situation again. I know it doesn't help much at this point, but very sincerely: we're sorry you had this experience, and we appreciate you writing about it. We take these reviews very seriously and are dedicated to fixing the issues and ensuring that things are better in the future. Not just for candidates but for our employees as well. Less

I have a question will anyone get hired.

I thought originally this post was of a disgruntled person who just was upset they didn't get a call back or job. But WOW this was so spot on, I read this literally before I had my phone interview and the recruiter I spoke to must be the same guy. He was so uninterested and really I seemed like I was an inconvenience to him. Doesn't seem like someone who's really made for HR. Maybe I've found a real life Toby from The Office?? Even if I DID get a call back I'm not sure I'd even want to work just from this first interaction. Less
Populate an array of numbers from 1 to N (inclusive). Given two numbers, p and q , if a number in the array is divisible by p print OUT, if a number is divisible by q print THINK. If number is divisible by both p and q, print OUTTHINK. Otherwise, print the number.

seems like a variation of fizzbuzz. Should not be difficult.

"#Python Solution from array import * def problem_1(N,p,q): array_1 = array( 'i', range(1,N+1)) for n in array_1: if n % p == 0: print 'OUT' elif n % q == 0: print 'THINK' elif n % p == 0 and n % q==0: print 'OUTTHINK' else: print n problem_1(20,6,8)" Doent't work, think how an else-if sentence is used in compilation :) Less
↳
the second one is certainly fizzbuzz, you were overthinking.
The Case - Wasn't hard but sometimes it can be difficult to know what they are exactly looking for.
