The process felt impersonal, with a lack of care or communication towards candidates.

I was initially given 5-6 easy questions on HackerRank, which I cleared. My phone screen was scheduled about two weeks later, due to a lack of engineer availability.

The phone screen question was unexpected. I was presented with 150 lines of code and asked to write an AI behavior algorithm. While this was manageable for me due to prior experience during my master's degree, I would expect most entry-level or average engineers to struggle with it during a one-hour session.

The engineer seemed unsure about the question, and I got the impression they detested interviewing.

The engineer mentioned that they typically have an onsite interview after this stage. I waited a week with no communication from HR. I emailed them, and three days later received an email stating that their hiring process was being restructured and they had no idea how long it would take.

After waiting another week, I emailed HR again on May 2nd, as it felt like they had vanished. On May 3rd, I received a generic email asking me to complete another HackerRank test by the weekend. Given its generic nature, I didn't prioritize it. Furthermore, I was expecting an onsite interview or some form of communication from HR, not to be bombarded with a test.

On Monday, HR finally emailed me stating that I hadn't completed the test, that they would extend it by a few hours, and that I needed to complete it.

I expressed my concerns about the lack of replies to my thread and no prior notification. HR advised me to check my spam folder, stating they have dozens of candidates. Really? No one has time for that.

Frustrated with their process, I took the HackerRank test, which involved three questions within a 90-minute limit. The questions were moderately to hard, but the lengthy descriptions consumed significant time. I wrote solutions for all three but lacked the time to debug and pass all tests.

I informed HR that I had completed the test but requested an engineer to review it due to time constraints. I received a rejection via an unreplied email late in the process.

Good luck solving every round if you have never seen those questions before.

It's no wonder they have a substantial number of rejections on Glassdoor.

I would never interview at this company again due to their terrible treatment of candidates.

At the very least, change the job title from "Junior Software Engineer" to "Software Engineer".

5-6 Math, probability, pair questions.

AI flocking algorithm.

Given a binary string, determine if it is a power of five. If not, break the string down into strings that represent powers of 5. There was a story about a game Jimmy was trying to play.

Some maze question about finding the shortest path to reach a destination. This involved a Tom and Jerry story about cheeses.

Linear interpolation among certain values or a set of values. This was easy but had many conditions on when to perform the linear interpolation. The story this time was about a wedding planner who had to buy items for events and people.
