Logic20/20 Software Developer interview questions

Overall this was a disorganized and aggravating process. First contact was from an internal recruiter. I had applied for x position but wanted to know if I would interview for y position because it was a step up and my skill set put me on the fence. I figured there was nothing to lose so I agreed. They gave me an overview of the position and we set up a skype interview since I am currently working on a project out of area. Next step was the skype interview. Overall it went okay, a behavioral/logic puzzle and a coding challenge. If you interview here be prepared to write in an IDE . Most interviews are whiteboard-centered, so that threw me off. Not a problem, just a different interviewing style to prepare for. I was also not told to have my own IDE prepared for the interview, and I used my travel/coffee shop laptop which I don't do heavy coding on, so I had to scramble and find an inline IDE which was annoying. A heads up could have prevented that... At the end of the interview the interviewer asked me if I had experience in DevOps. I answered no (I did not apply for a DevOps role). He said okay and there were a variety of roles on his team but he was curious if I had that in my background (if I did it would have been on my resume). After the technical round I spoke with a more senior product person who answered more general questions about the firm, working environment, the client etc. Both experiences were pleasant overall, despite the issues I noted. Got a call soon after saying the interview went well and we were moving forward. We talked about salary and start date, and they sent along paperwork for me to sign that included salary information and a background check release. They explained that the final step was to meet with the client and get their final approval for the hire. They scheduled the skype call for that meeting and another phone call with a recruiter to chat before the client skype call and prep me for who I would be speaking with etc. I got the call from the recruiter, and this is where things went off the rails. They explained all but 1 of the 5 interviewers had cancelled (bad sign). They confirmed that the format of the meeting would be behavioral questions and possibly another brief coding challenge, so this time I had my IDE ready to go. She gave some tips about the behavioral questions and mentioned a few things to highlight in my resume. Very helpful and informative. Then the meeting. It started awkwardly when I was the only one using video on the call since the interviewer refused. They didn't acknowledge me when I signed in, which was also awkward. I spent the entire interview staring at a mirror image of myself, which was bizarre. The format of the interview was NOTHING like I was prepared for, so I felt completely off balance. The interviewer was rude, hostile, and condescending. Honestly he seemed annoyed to be there and anxious to write me off so that he could be done with it. I don't know if I even managed to complete a sentence because he interrupted me so often to sarcastically nitpick something I'd said. For example on a question about compiled v. interpreted languages he interrupted with "Interesting that you don't know that ALL languages are compiled [I do. Because otherwise that would be insane.] . Computers don't read human writing, they read 1s and 0s!". It was such an obvious and insulting thing to say that I just quietly nodded. On another question he asked if various things I had worked in such as jQuery "were even relevant anymore, or worth bothering to know about". If someone is that hellbent on being a jerk it's just not worth it to engage. Who would want to work with that? He cut the interview short at 25 minutes and asked if I had any questions. I was uncomfortable and knew this wasn't going to lead to a hire so I just said thank you but no, I think I understand things okay. This guy was on such a trip that he nitpicked THAT and ended on "Oh really? Interesting. You think you understand? Tell me. Tell me then what I do at this job, what you THINK it is that we do here!" I was so weirded out that I just mumbled something incoherent to make it end. My takeaway was that this person wanted someone with a long history of DevOps work, which explained why none of the questions were very relevant to my background. I had told multiple people that I was not a DevOps background. As I expected the company ghosted after that. I can't imagine the feedback was positive but I was disappointed to have so much of my time wasted on what was clearly a fruitless endeavor. Why put me through a stressful series of interviews when they know the answer will be no? And I would have appreciated at least a declining email. After multiple rounds of technical interviews I felt at least that much would have been respectful.

The standard technical interview over the phone, nothing too complex, basic software development and experience questions. Then an in person interview with another developer in the company. Again, nothing too complex, just questions that make you prove you've done it.
