The process for you

Interviewing at SocialCode is a chance for you to learn about us and for us to learn about you.  Below is a description of some ways to prepare and learn about SocialCode.

Send us your questions:

You are interviewing us as much as we are interviewing you.  Since you’ll prepare for your interview, maybe we can too.  So please feel free to send us questions that you might have in advance so that we may prepare.

Be prepared to talk design!

Interviewers may ask you about your portfolio, or some aspect of design.  We’ll try to avoid arcane theory of design, and focus on what works, and how we approach complex problems to make them simple for our users.

Be prepared to solve a problem

We may ask you to design something.  We’re not going to put you at a whiteboard and shine a light at you while we judge your marker skills.  We will, though, offer a design problem and ask you to work with other people in the room to reach an elegant solution.  Our focus is on collaboration.

Keep in mind that we don’t hire people based on code puzzles and parlor tricks. We do this to get a better understanding of your thought process and how you attack unfamiliar problems.
