I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at MEDRIO (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
I applied on Medrio's website, and I got a call back a few weeks later. On the phone, I was asked basic recruiter questions about my qualifications. Next I was invited to meet with the director of software, and a few other employees. In the interview, I was asked questions about asp.net, TSql, WCF, and other technologies.
It was great! I walked into the office, and the whole company was working together to send their customers cookies they baked as a team the day prior. The atmosphere at this company is amazing. Laid back, but still high energy. Everyone understands their role. I have yet to meet someone at this company who is not willing to step out of their role's responsibilities to help the company thrive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you enable WCF services for ASP.net forms for ajax calls?
Worst interview I ever been.
Started from coding exercise . Which was understandable and adequate.
But then, catastrophe. Some guys presented himself as 'architect' was starting absolutely senseless questions.
Example: You have service (writes word 'Service' on board). You have (describes CRUD in http requests). How to achieve efficiency O(1) for all operation at the same time 'cleaning' memory after removal?
Asking - what kind of service? what kind of model? range of identifiers - does not help.
And another questions like that - without ANY requirements or explanation, clarifications.
'Some service'. 'Some e-shop'. WOW.
Another one: person writes 3 methods on board. Quesion: How to run them sequentially? (most ridiculous: calling sequentially? delegates? fluent api? expressions? threading? WHAT??)
I thought we would talk about architecture, threading, frameworks. But instead we ended up with questions about c# syntax ( '==' operator and how in .net 1 properties were presented).
Weird. WOW.
Based on this ridiculous conversation interview was ended without even having chance to speak to other guys.
Killed 3 hours of my life.
AVOID.
