To get hired at Turing.com, you'll need to go through a comprehensive vetting process. This includes several technical quizzes and challenges, some of which are multiple-choice and others are coding challenges. Following the technical assessments, there's a soft skills recorded interview. For this part, you'll record yourself answering questions. You get about 60 seconds to prep for each question, and the recording starts automatically with only one attempt allowed.

So there were three main parts to the interview. First, a coding test to see how I handle object-oriented stuff. Then, some verbal questions to check my understanding of Python. The last part was a special round in Turing interviews, where they wanted me to judge how an AI bot responded to a user, comparing two different answers.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- A coding test focused on object-oriented analysis was given.
- Verbal questions covered Python internals such as decorators.
- The interview included questions about Python's multi-threading capabilities and any limitations.

Coding Technical
After creating an account on their website, I had to complete several online programming tests. Each test could take anywhere from 50 minutes to over 3 hours, and I needed to finish 5 of them to even apply for the job. So that's up to 8 hours of work based on the max time for each test. Honestly, the whole process felt pretty bad; the questions weren't clear, but you could only pick one answer. They also seemed really out of touch with what actual developers do day-to-day. It really felt like they didn't care about our time at all.
