What a completely and utterly useless junk article littered with incredibly annoying SIGN UP NOW ads. Based on the site, here's what I imagine their actual interview process to be like. The first basic programming ability question asks the candidate to SIGN UP NOW FOR OUR NEWSLETTER. Its a fairly straightforward test, you just need to SIGN UP NOW, ENTER YOUR EMAIL IN THIS BOX PLEASE. Once the candidate has shown their ability to do this, they move on to a take home project where they are asked to deploy annoying pop up ads for startpage so they don't have to implement it themselves. So far, they've interviewed THREE candidates so they only ask you to sign up THREE TIMES when you visit the site.

What a trashy website.
