Skills Test
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I was told to go into a room by a guy who just exited. The guy was wearing what looked like one of his best suits and looked like he was about to break into tears. I went in where two interviewers quickly scrutinized my resume before spending a meager 2 minutes asking me about myself which they obviously didn't care much about. Then they jumped right into brain teaser questions such as:
If I have 25 horses, a five horse track, and no timer, how many races do I have to run to find the fastest three horses?
and
How many trailing zeroes are there in 100!
I didn't do very well on the first two questions and they simply told me to leave in less than 15 minutes.
