Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was given a LeetCode Medium problem (found in the selection of LeetCode Affirm company questions) and I solved it correctly with good time complexity. The interviewer agreed, stating it was a difficult problem.
He then offered to connect on LinkedIn and was very nice, so I was quite surprised when I received my rejection a week later.
Questions
