Cipher Tech Solutions interview questions

They sent me a take home project before even giving me a phone interview. The project was on creating a cipher, parsing a kdb file, and ultimately carving out jpegs from a binary file. While it wasn't exactly hard, it also wasn't easy. It took me many hours to properly complete. Then, if that wasn't enough, they gave me a SECOND ASSIGNMENT! Stay away, they just want to waste your time. By the time I finished their stupid challenges I already had gotten better offers from other companies who didn't have as many hoops to climb through.

Technical interview followed by personality interview, which then leads into interviews with project leads. If you complete the technical interview you will move onto the next stage. You will need a security clearance to get the job.
