Colloquio
Meet them on campus and was asked to come in for on campus interview. Interview was technical based and went on for 30 minutes. I was asked relatively straightforward questions but was unable to talk about other things. They seem to be giving everyone who submitted their resume an on campus interview. Then, after few weeks I was contacted to schedule a phone interview along with coding on the website. Took long time to schedule the interview and hear back from the company, but finally had the phone interview. The interviewer seemed friendly and helpful. The interview went well but surprisingly I did not move forward to the next level. They seem to repeat interview questions a lot. Overall, it was good experience apart from the delay in scheduling the live coding session.

Colloquio
I applied to an opening for a Summer intern online on my universities job board and was contacted by one of the managers that they would like to interview me. I agreed to an interview. It was scheduled to be on-campus. I read about other people's interview with this company, and there was a lot of negative information about the interview process and questions.
The person I met with didn't have a copy of my resume and I didn't bring a copy with me so that was kind of awkward. During the initial interview I was asked to solve a simple mathematical problem, debug a code, and then write my own.
I struggled a little bit to write my own, just something really simple that I missed in a recursion, but the interviewer was nice and helped me out. Then he asked me which year in school I was and he was surprised that I wasn't a junior and said that the company normally only hires junior-senior levels, but in my case he didn't know what to say. In about 3 weeks I heard from the company and they said that they would like to do an on-ste interview with me.
The on site interviews were divided into few sections: there were about 3 programming challenges with the actual programmers from different teams of the company and 1 was mathematical.
I guess due to my lack of programming experience I struggled during the programming interviews, but everyone during those interviews was nice and willing to help, or at least point in a right direction. THEN there was the math problems: one was fairly easy and one was a probability question, with no help provided.. The guy was just a jerk! I took stats 2 years ago and was planning on NEVER using it again, and as a developer I plan on going into a field that doesn't require using stats ever, especially after this guy! He was just plainly rude! He was in the second pair of the interviewers and after him I was already wanting that this company would not hire me, because I wouldn't want to work for someone like him. Programmers beware!
As for the company work culture - it seemed really laid back. Programmers were friendly, and really easy to talk to. They have a team training every week and once a month a few teams training for which the company provides lunch.
After flying back I got an e-mail stating that at this time the company is interested in pursuing other candidates and was reliefed to find out that I didn't get an offer that I would have declined either way.
you're given a 100 jelly-beans, 50 white and 50 black. You need to set up a game which uses two cups filled with those jelly-beans, you can put a random number of each in each cup, but each cup must have at least one jelly-bean inside. A customer comes up and pick randomly a jelly-bean (it can be white or black), puts it back and then bets money that they can pull out the same color again. As a game provided you want to set it in a way that you have a higher probability of winning the game over a customer. (Hopefully this makes sense)
