First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at PointRoll.
Applications Engineer
I had an onsite interview with several people. First, I spoke with a team member who asked questions to assess my knowledge and go over my previous work. Then, I met with the manager who also asked me questions to gauge my understanding. Although he didn't think I was a good fit for the role at first, he ended up offering me the position, which turned out great for me later on. I really enjoyed the actual work.
- Tell me about your experience.
- What are your current job tasks?
- Can you walk me through your past work experience?
Client Analyst
I went through 3 rounds of interviews, which totaled 5 individual interviews. The first interview was a 30-minute phone call with HR, covering standard background questions. The second round included 3 interviews back-to-back at the LA office, all with professional interviewers, which was a positive experience. This was followed by a short, basic multiple-choice math quiz. The final round was a 1-hour phone interview featuring an in-depth market sizing case study.
- Can you estimate the total number of K-12 teachers in the United States?
Project Manager
It started with a phone interview, and then a month later, I was invited for an in-person interview. This involved meeting with five people, each asking similar questions. They were upfront about the demanding work-life balance, expecting 24/7 availability. A week later, I had another interview with two more people, where the questions were the same, and again, they stressed the demanding work schedule. One interviewer made an odd, unprofessional comment about me not fitting in because I don't drink much. Despite that comment, I felt good about the interviews, as they complimented my qualities. Two weeks after sending thank-you notes, I received an email stating I was a finalist but not selected, and they would move forward with other candidates.
- There were no difficult or unexpected questions. Each question that was asked sounded like it came from an interview handbook. Each of my interviewers asked the same questions as the interviewer before them.
Applications Developer
It started with a quick phone call, mostly technical and quiz-like questions to verify my resume. Then, I had a formal interview where I met five people in four separate meetings. First, two one-on-one meetings, then a meeting with two developers, and finally, a meeting with those same two developers plus a third person who joined later. All four meetings involved a lot of repetitive technical questions. It seemed disorganized, but everyone was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed talking with them, despite answering the same questions multiple times. The office seems very casual and laid-back. My overall feeling is that it would be a great place to work.
- Regarding a linked list with a few nodes, explain how you would construct a new list containing the same nodes but in reverse order.
