Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Power-Day comprises Case Study, Behavioral, and Technical portions.

Case Study: You look at some code and explain what it's doing. This was the only enjoyable part of the interview.

Behavioral: This section involved a series of "Name a time when..." questions. It was likely the most uncomfortable interview experience, and the interviewer was unfriendly when I struggled to find examples for certain questions. I performed well on my Technical and Case Study portions, but this interview was frustrating. The Case Study felt more behavioral than this actual interview.

Technical: Two LeetCode Medium problems were presented.
