Jazz Networks interview questions

The entire process took around 3 weeks, and consisted of: 1. A few programming tests (a general one and one in my choice of language) to be solved without a time restriction. Unlike the Hackerrank tests I've done in the past, the focus was not just on getting the right answer out, but on the logic and fundamenals of programming. I spent an equal time writing functions and explaining my reasoning and understanding of time-complexity etc. 2. A non-technical Skype interview with someone who explained the history of the company, what their product is, what the role would be etc. I had the opportunity to share more information about myself and explain why I was interested in the role. 3. Face-to-face interviews at the office. Each interview was about an hour long. i) The first interview was non-technical and focused on the specifics of the role and whether I would be a good fit for the company. ii) I then had several programming interviews (essentially one with someone from every team). The interviewer would give me a small problem, ask me to walk them through how I would go about solving it, and then gradually make the problem more and more complex. On the whiteboard, I would write out the logic in pseudocode, talk through the pros and cons of my algorithm, and then finally write the functions to solve the whole problem. I appreciated that there was less focus on syntax and more on logic. When I would get stuck, the interviewer would discuss the problem with me and help me see it from a different angle. I definitely felt like they were trying to see how much I knew, rather than catch me out on things I didn't know. iii) I also had a few machine learning / computer vision interviews where I was given a problem and asked what algorithm I would use to solve it, how the algorithm worked etc. I also had the chance to discuss the ML projects I had been working on at uni. iv) I also had lunch with the team. They were very friendly and welcoming. 4. One final technical Skype interview with a developer. Although the interviews were quite challenging, the impression I got was they wanted to be sure that you were the right fit for the company, and that the company was the right fit for you. I accepted my offer and have been working there for a month now, and am very happy with my new role!

Very unprofessional interview process. They sent me 10 questions mixed in Java and Python. Unlimited time to answer the questions. I read the bad reviews but I gave a shot and spend my time to solve problems in the best way possible. Explain steps, by reduced complexity of time and space. My colleagues saying me this type of interviews is usually not made for hiring people. They never turn you positive and this is not my first time. If it takes more than 2 hours to complete the tests, do not waste your valuable time. Apply for other better opportunities. You will not regret. Their response 1 day after was. " Your answers have now been marked and unfortunately, they have not been regarded as strong enough to invite you on to the next stage. Unfortunately, we do not offer any specific details behind your test results. " Very funny automatic message from the unprofessional hiring process. Please avoid that kind of interviews and take care more about the companies that invite you to their office or conducting skype interviews first.
