I have a phone interview with pivotal for this position. They said I would not be writing code but I would be helping someone else write code. Any tips? This is for a internship.
2 years back I interviewed with pivotal. Completed TDD phone round with Java creating Hashmap. Then just before onsite they said they would be doing 3 hrs online interview instead.
Had to pair with guy for his task he was working. Unfortunately, for me they paired me who was working on Ruby on Rails. Did I mention my first language is Java. He was asking me to write code in Ruby on Rails. Of course, I didn't get through. If it had been Java it would have been different story. Why would they do it, I can't understand till now. Recruiter ghosted after interview didnt even have decency to respond I didn't make it through when I spent 3 rounds of interviews.
So, it's likely that you'll be paired with someone and help them do their task for that day.
Hey @Nebula99
Don't they ask beforehand whether we can have interview and do code in the language that we know??
Because this is straight up bullshit. They should ask which language we know and how should we go forward.
