Back-End Developer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
I was sent a link to a HackerRank test without any words or message from the recruiter.
It was a 90-minute code test with three coding questions, similar to those found on LeetCode.
The last question was as long as an essay, and I only had 30 minutes left. It was crazy, lol. I didn't expect to pass because this isn't a code Olympics; I'm applying for a job, not a competition.
Anyway, whoever spends a lot of time on LeetCode may pass easier. Honestly, real work doesn't have anything to do with these questions.
