REal WOrld TEstS
This repository contains example test assignments used during our hiring process.
We find that regular job interview questions can often be misleading and so use more engaged "real-world" examples instead.
Each file represents an assignment similar to what one would get when hired.

We will screen for the ability to (1) pick up new concepts quickly, (2) implement a working proof-of-concept solution, and (3) outline how the PoC can become more mature. We value attention to details and modularity.
