Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In how many different ways can you implement singleton. Which is the preferred one?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at IGT (Las Vegas, NV) in Nov 2010
Interview
The IGT interview team is awful. They are unfocused and a few times pointed to things irrelevant to the conversation to deliberately distract you.
They ask really lame questions like "what are your favorite and least favorite classes when you were in school" and "What do you like and not like about the profession you are in"
The employees also argue with one another during the interview and are rude to one another and criticize each other.
They also ask vague questions, give you assurances that you are hired on the spot, only to reject you later on.
I would highly recommend NOT working for them.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IGT (Las Vegas, NV) in May 2009
Interview
Pretty standard interview process. Interviewed with 3-4 employees ranging from co-workers to superiors over two sessions. Nothing out of the ordinary. Typical "why do you want to work here" and answering questions about specific skill sets and similar previous work I'd done.
Two wierd things happened after that, though. 1. They asked for previous work product. I said I didn't feel comfortable furnishing work product from another company and they just said "oh don't worry about it, we're not going to use it against them [the other companies]. I said that I'd be happy to complete an assignment for them or something along those lines but they really wanted work product. 2. On what I thought was going to be my last round of interviews I interviewed with someone who was working their first day at the company and who told me "no one that I interviewed with is here anymore so I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to be talking about".
I never heard back from them after that.
