First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Integrated Research.
Software Engineer
So after talking to a recruiter about a front end role, especially needing JS/Angular 2+ skills, I had to do a timed online test at home. It had three coding challenges, CSS/JS only, with super tight time limits (like 5 mins each) and a strict auto-grader that didn't allow older JS syntax. I only managed to solve 2 out of 3. Then, I got invited for an interview at their Sydney office. Two Software Engineers interviewed me first, asking technical stuff and then about my past work and personal projects. After that, a Team Lead talked to me about my experience and I got to ask about the company. I think there was a background check too before the offer.
- How would you style four div elements to occupy each corner of the page?
- Describe how to implement a card-clicking game: clicking a card toggles red to blue; clicking another card resets others to blue; clicking a red card again turns it blue.
- How would you implement this game using plain HTML/CSS/Javascript?
Software Engineer
First, you'll do a little assignment in object oriented language. Then a phone interview. Finally, an on-site interview which includes a 1 hour interview focused on teamwork, communication and project management skills, lunch with two recent grads, a whiteboard session with technical questions, and a short discussion with management and a walk through of the office.
- Could you write a function that traverses a binary tree and prints the node values in order?
Software Engineer
After I sent in my cover letter, resume and academic transcript, if they liked it, I was asked to do a task about a week later. The task was to build a command line program that models an agile scrum task board. About a week after that, they told me I would get a phone interview, but they had already filled all the internship spots.
- Can you implement a command-line based agile scrum board using an object-oriented language?
