Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Basic phone screen, then a lot of rounds begin:

  1. Coding problem - LC medium problem. Anyone that did some LC problems can solve this. The interviewer for this part, if it is the same for everyone, is a VERY nice guy.

  2. Behavior with Management

  3. Technical Design Session. Like any other company, the interviewer for this part seems disinterested in the whole process, so you talk to the walls.

  4. Coding problem - LC hidden problem in between Coinbase domain problems.

This round starts with an API problem with mixed information. In the end, it is a Leetcode problem that you should solve.

The interviewer was very aggressive and impatient on the last part. The first coding round interviewer was amazing; I was surprised since I did so well on the first round. On the second, the interviewer really made a bad difference.
