Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Faithlife.
Senior Software Developer
Was contacted by an intern by email to set up an interview with a developer. Then had a phone interview with a developer that had been with FaithLife for less than 1 year. It was pretty much a canned question interview with questions pertaining to C# and T-SQL. The questions were from the first result of a google search for interview questions. No questions about project that I had worked on, no questions about team work or specific situations such as "how did you deliver bad news about..." Overall a very vague experience.
- Can you explain what an abstract class is?
Software Developer
It was three stages, all remote. First was a chat with the hiring manager, starting with some intro questions, then language specific questions, and a few technical questions. Then, I had a pair programming stage, but it was more observed programming with a senior developer. They gave a typical programming question and lots of freedom to solve it. The last stage was a 90-minute panel with two team members, the team lead, and the hiring manager. They asked various questions: behavioral, technical, and hypothetical. Some questions and the time were challenging, but overall it was good. The whole experience was positive, everyone was professional and friendly. They also stayed after each interview to answer my questions about the team and company. This process really convinced me more about the company. I got the offer about 10 days later.
- Can you explain what the sealed keyword in C# does? Also, what are the different ways to store data and when would you choose each?
- What does the sealed keyword do in C#? What are possible ways to store data, and when might you use each one?
Software Developer
I had a Google Hangout interview. It was mostly about general programming questions for the language we were using. They asked things like, can you list the primitive data types, explain inheritance, and what's the difference between instance and static methods? Then, they threw in two quick coding challenges: one to find the biggest number in an array and another to check if a year is a leap year.
- Could you find the largest value in an array?
- Can you determine if a given year is a leap year?
