The Neat Company interview questions

Two phone interviews and two in-person interviews. Fairly straightforward. Hiring manager is no longer at the company so practices may have changed. Bottom line is that you better be able to do what you say on your resume. Otherwise they'll weed you out.

I interviewed with them at their office in downtown Philadelphia. The office was nice and had kind of a start upy feel to it, with open working spaces and no cubicles. I interviewed with the VP of Software Engineering and a Developer in a room with a white board. First, they briefly asked me about some of the experiences on my resume. Additionally, they asked me to talk about a personal project that I had worked on and how I could improve it (I explained the source code for it as well). After that we got down to business,I was to debug a problem with their webapp, I literally had to solve it on their computer right then and there I used the Chrome inspector to figure it out. I was asked to explain what some mystery function did, it turned out that it was just a function that deletes a specified amount of a character string. I was given hints throughout the process.
