there were so manyHad to write a block of code that was checked for positive and negative test cases as well as performance (very long strings). I asked about it it later, no one ever looks at the exercise, just the score. In person questions were about experience and how to handle conflict and adversity. One interview included a short exercise with a block of supposedly real production code that was awful, I had to analyze and explain why it was wrong.
