Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Pakistan
Process
Technical interview
-
Introduction
-
A string manipulation coding challenge.
Fintech project and the coding challenge doesn't make any sense. If the reason is testing problem solving then I solved the problem and provided the solution, was not able to run the code due to a null pointer exception which I identified and was fixing while he said time is up, if he gave me 5 mins more it would have run successfully, I tested the code after the interview. Now if the goal was to test problem solving skill, I completed the solution and yet they said couldn't complete the code. :) Are you kidding me ?? Never have I ever had to manipulate a String in a freaking Fintech project.
