Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I started with a HackerRank test, which consisted of one question to be completed in one hour. I then worked hard to complete two additional practice tests, each with four questions. Afterward, I proceeded to take the HackerRank test and luckily found it easier than the practice questions.

I completed the test with full marks on all their test cases. Nearly a week later, the recruiter notified me that I did not qualify.
