Was relaxed not overly complicated. A recruiter contacted me about the software engineer in test position that was needed to be filled quickly. They then asked initial skills screening questions then an in-person interview with a panel.

I was emailed that the phone interview is going to be behavioral, however once I answer the call I was told that it is going to be a technical coding challenge. I solved the questions in 30 mins, however the interviewer was not satisfied with the result by mentioning they are not effective solution.

Given the following method signature,
int MaxWindowTotal(int[] values, int windowSize);
MaxWindowTotal will take an array of integers and a windowSize, and return the maximum total of any consecutive sequence of integers of length windowSize.
For example, given (array = [5, 12, 25, 7, 9], windowSize = 3), the method will return 44 (the sum of 12, 25, and 7 is the greatest total of any 3 consecutive integers in the array).
Given an array of numbers (assume the array has three or more values, and they are indeed numbers), should return an index, if one exists, where the sums of the elements on either side of that index are equal. eg. [2, 3, 4, 4, 1] given the function this array should return index 2 (element with value 4) because the sums on either side are equal (2 + 3 = 4 + 1).

I applied for an opening in August through an employee referral. They contacted me for an interview in November and made an offer in late December.
HR was completely unwilling to negotiate on anything but I accepted anyway with a start date the second week of January. On my way home from my last day with my previous employer HR contacted me to let me know that due to logistical issues my start date was being pushed back an additional week. Not cool.
Icing on the cake is that they also stiffed the guy that referred me on the referral bonus claiming that they don't offer one even though management had been touting the bonus even after I started.

When should you automate a test case and when should it be manual?
Given two identical glass spheres and a building of 100 floors, how would you go about determining what the highest floor a sphere can drop from without shattering and how would you minimize the number of times a sphere would need to be dropped?
