Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online,

  • HR call about the position
  • Codility online assessment - 3 questions, 130 minutes.
  • I didn't pass the test although I was thinking I did great.

Questions

Codility Questions -> LeetCode Style.

  1. You are given a message (String) and K (number), and you need to return an edited message (String) to be displayed at some app that can display at most K chars for this message. For this you need to edit the message only between words and add " ..." in the end. For example: "this is an example message", K = 10 : return "this ,,, " because "this is ,,," length is 11 and you need to omit "is" as well.

  2. You are given a string representing moves of a robot "<><>v^" in a 2D plane. You are starting at (0,0) and need to return True or False if the robot path after the moves creates a rectangle.

  3. https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/4309863/Microsoft-OA-Historical-Max-Profit-of-a-Stock/ I thought I was doing great, and I passed all the example tests. I think I fell on "performance" tests. Lesson learned : Avoid recursion if the input can be large! :(
