Question 1
How would you learn if you meet some barriers during work?
2round interview one phone one on site. The atmosphere is really bad. There is a lot of customer services people in the office. They are very busy and very sad. The whole office looks like a factory very narrow. The onsite interview just talk about behavior questions. And it looks like the managers don't know what the position's duty is. Wast of time.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Westlake Services (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
It was an initial phone interview. The gentleman was friendly and nice, but did not seem to completely understand the questions he was asking, which felt uncomfortable. He was attempting to give a scenario of "Six men walk into a room with six empty chairs around a circular table. What is the likeliness of two men sitting next to each other?" Of course, there are many ways to answer this question, but he continued to get frustrated as he kept altering the question. What a strange interview. But my frustration came when he said he would respond in a week or so, which seemed odd but acceptable, I suppose. As several weeks went by I heard nothing from him, even after an email asking if I was still being considered. No response. I'm not sensitive, but I believe that if you interview with a company it's decent to at least let the candidate know that they are no longer being considered for the job instead of blown off.

Question 1
Ultimately the question became: "If a man is sitting alone in a room at a circular table with six chairs, and a second man enters the room, what is the possibility that the second man will sit in a chair next to the first man?"
