The Spam Filter Ate My Homework!
Here's a short story that I can share now that I do work at OpenLogic :)
After my phone interview with Eric Weidner (co-founder and Engineering Lead), I was assigned a take home test: write a small Java program that would act as a calculator. I was to email it back to Eric as soon as I was done. I worked on it over the weekend, and sent it over on the Tuesday following the assignment. I then started to wait for a response back.
I still hadn't heard anything back by Thursday and started to be worried.
I was really nervous by Friday. So I gathered courage and gave Eric a call. He looked around in his inbox but couldn't find the email. So he started digging in his mail folders and found it (to my great relief) in his Spam folder. The homework was reviewed, and it did lead to an in-person interview with the engineering team, which lead to a job offer.
So you have it: the Spam filter ate my homework.
