How was your interview process like? did you do the whiteboard coding thing?

Is the startup trying to "disrupt" something big, or is it a niche product?

Niche. It's piggiebacking off of the exploding UAV business.

We're an AI company that specializes in data analysis.

For example, a company flies UAVs over sites. We analyse produced data to make that data actionable.

We also have applications in ALL data driven processes (waveforms, accelerameter, vibrations, etc).

The interview process was relatively straighforward. I presented the projects i've worked on which are applicable. The in person interview was moreso about culture fit. They already knew I was a good programming. I had a 3 week full-pay trial period where the company made sure I was up to snuff..

Bro, check out angellist, there are tons of startups are are interested in EE. Espeically in the IoT domain.

I'm an IT graduate that hates IT and loves to program do programming in my off time, currently in CIS master's program. How do I get a dev job at something like where you are?
>>
I'm about to finish an engineering degree and I haven't taken any CS classes.
I know C++ and C good enough to work on fairly large codebases but I don't have any rigorous training. For example I can guess the running time of an algorithm but I don't know how to calculate it, and I have no idea what stuff like a loop invariant is.

I'm thinking of doing those free online courses from MIT and Harvard to learn about programming, my idea is

>Introductory class
So I get all the basic things I've missed.

>Algorithms

>Discrete math

Is there anything else that's in high demand?

I already know linear algebra, calc, differential eqs, etc.

How many people are under your "CEO"?
Do your founders have black-and-white professional portrait photos as their profile pictures?
Do you?
Do you get paid fuck all while "management" (the CEO and his buddies) go on "team building" and "brain storming" excursions to France?
>>54554659
> UAV
How will you feel when your founders sell out for millions and you end up working for the US government making technology which kills innocent men, women, and children?
>>
Do you work for stock options and minimum wage?

Why do you assume that I'm NEET? I'll have you know that I am gainfully employed as a machinist, and it's quite hurtful for you, a complete stranger, to just assume that I'm a shiftless loser. I may be a blue collar dirt-bag, but I'm still a human being, with feelings.

>flies UAV's over sites
>UAVs
>over sites

You mean flies them over Pakistani villagers and zaps them with targeting lasers

>>54557355
Don't worry friend, you do real work, and cool work at that.

Unlike OP who probably is a frontend web designer who spends his days in Photoshop "doing programming".

I'm doing CS50x on edX and it's pretty gay at first, but it teaches a bunch. Surprisingly very intensive. I was planning to move to a Data Structures & Algorithms course after, or just follow the GitHub FOSS student guide thing.
