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.

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.

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.
