Python Developer Intern Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
I was asked to take a HackerRank coding challenge as the first step.
This was the only step I made it to before being rejected.
The coding challenge was one of the most poorly constructed ones I have ever taken.
The questions were confusing and poorly worded. It left it up to me to figure out the definitions of some things in their scenarios, and the example input/output did not match their description.
The actual Python was easy; it was just a very badly constructed set of questions.
