I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at NCR Corporation (Praga) in Dec 2013

First I got a homeword - pyramid problem (http://www.mathblog.dk/project-euler-18/). Limit is 1 hour.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NCR Corporation (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2025
Interview
HR interview, Tech&Personal interview
The interviewer asked to come to the office(tough public transportation area) for the interview, but interviewer was online because he is in a different country. After interview, there is no tour or meeting team. I don't know why he asked to come over.
Also I couldn't hear result from them after interview even though I sent follow up emails to interviewers and hr recuiter.
The interview process included a written assessment with a few programming questions in various languages (the role was full stack) and a few personality questions. After that I was called to have a meeting with some Engineers to discuss my answers. They liked my performance, and the next day I was called by their HR with a verbal offer. I counter offered with a slightly higher salary and they said they'd consider it. I got ghosted, and only got a rejection a month later (the interview process until then only took 3-4 days)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to make a simple counter using javascript, and a leetcode easy question.
In-person hiring manager screen followed by leetcode style coding questions. Once passing the leetcode, there was a final in-person interview. The leetcode question was on the average difficulty side and was better than the typical algorithm question.
