Real interview questions

First round was essentially a large take-home coding assessment; they gave you a week to do it, but very little in terms of specific requirements. I spent about 4 days on it total - I would say it was definitely within the ball-park of production quality code, and yet they passed on it without so much as saying a word -- not even any constructive criticism or anything about what they may have been looking for specifically in a solution. Personally, this smells fishy -- although I do not have proof, I would not be surprised if they are one of those companies that has no intention of hiring someone, and just send out these tests to steal code from hopeful developers who think they have a chance at getting a gig with them. Point is, STAY AWAY from this place. And tell your friends to not apply either. Also, whoever wrote the initial code for the take-home assessment (the starter code they give you before you fill in your part) should try taking his own stupid test. That code sucks. There's so many better ways of writing something like that.
