Question 1
How do you approach software development if requirements are not clear?
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY !!! What a terrible interview process, was reached out by HR person on Linkden to interview. I said sure why not. She set me up with an interview with the hiring manager, it was totally unprofessional.
Mid way in the interview he said that he misread my resume and no longer wanted to continue the interview. Highly unethical and unprofessional interviewer. Honestly I have had better experiences when apply for waiter/sales jobs at random companies when I was a student.
Rejected before talking to anyone by AI-generated and AI-proctored exam irrelevant to position. It is necessary to enter with many "fun facts" about language, compiler, syntax, etc. Payscale acceptable if hired.
