December 1, 2020
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. HackerRank: 3 problems in 2 hours (1 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard).

  2. 45-minute video interview with a medium/hard question.

  3. Three 45-minute interviews with 15-minute breaks in between.

First interview: Solved an easy problem, aiming to eventually find the most optimal solution.

Second interview: Discussed previous work and experience. Also, had to solve a hard problem with limited time (around 30 minutes).

Third interview: Designed and implemented an object-oriented problem based on specific requirements.

One interviewer experienced poor internet connection, leading to communication difficulties. However, I don't believe this is typical of most interviews.

I haven't heard back in two weeks, so I assume I've been ghosted or am awaiting a rejection email.
