Question 1
Do you like to code or just doing research and playing with data?!
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affinio (Halifax, NS) in Feb 2016
Interview
Overall, slow process with rescheduling interviews multiple times, and no actual offer other than "we can't afford what you're asking, goodbye".
After submitting my resume online, I received an email to schedule an interview. First round was a 1:1 with a manager over google hangout discussing some technical experience with different languages and tools. Second round was in person with the manager and CEO further discussing my experience and what types of problems I enjoyed working on. Third round was a simple technical question that you email back within an hour.
Three days after answering the technical question, I email again to confirm that they received my solution, they confirm it was "excellent", HR emails me shortly after asking for salary expectations and start date.
Another three days later, they inform me they went with another candidate.
Save everyone some time and discuss the salary range budget during first contact, not three weeks later.

Question 1
Given a list of people's names, organize a beer exchange such that each person is randomly assigned someone else to give a beer to, and someone to receive a beer from. Caveat: The person cannot receive a beer from the same person to whom they are gifting one.
