I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Blackhawk Network (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First interview was short (15 mins) done by a recruiter (who was late by at least 5 mins) asking basic questions about background and Java experience. Assigned a coderbyte assessment, but gave incorrect information about the freedom of programming language choice when asked (incorrectly stated that I was free to use whatever programming language I wanted to answer the assessment), as it was locked to coding only in Java. The assessment environment was poor compared to environments such as Hackerrank and Leetcode due to all logging and test case information being printed out to the console over and over, so you have previous program run attempts cluttering the output log. UI terribly organized and the problem statements were horrid in laying out the expectations of the desired solution.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Problems given via CoderByte: TreeNode Constructor problem (1st part of the question) and validating the Binary Tree (2nd part of the question). SumMultiplier problem (check to see if 2 of the largest integers in the list, when multiplied, are larger than double the sum of the list)
