      Developer Interview

      19 Feb 2012
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2011

      Interview

      It was a fun interview. I met them at a Career fair and then game onsite for a day of 1 on 1 interviews.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      You have a bucket of jelly beans. Some are red, some are blue, and some green. With your eyes closed, pick out 2 of a like color. How many do you have to grab to be sure you have 2 of the same?
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Imagine an analog clock set to 12 o’clock. Note that the hour and minute hands overlap. How many times each day do both the hour and minute hands overlap? How would you determine the exact times of the day that this occurs?
      2 Answers

      Question 3

      Write a function that takes three integers corresponding to the lengths of sides and returns what kind of triangle can be made out of those 3 sides. (Equilateral, etc)
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      A solution consists of four balls from a set of four different colors. The user tries to guess the solution. If they guess the right color for the right spot, record it as being in the correct ‘Location’. If it’s the right color, but the wrong spot, record it as a correct ‘Color’. For example: if the solution is ‘BGRR’ and the user guesses ‘RGYY’ they have 1 ‘Location’ and 1 ‘Color’. A correct solution would be 4 ‘Location’ and 0 ‘Color’. Write a program to, given a solution and a guess, calculate the response that we present to the user.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems in Mar 2022

      Interview

      OA with 2 medium problems & a code review, 1-hour 1st round technical interview followed by 3 consecutive 1-hour technical interviews. The interviewers were all super nice. They were willing to work together towards a solution when I needed some subtle hints. They were very polite, engaged and eager to chat. Got the offer pretty shortly after my last interview

      Medium leetcode questions, graphs & hashmaps are your friends.
