Software Engineer Interview Experience - Gdańsk, Poland

July 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I only got the first stage of the CodeSignal assessment. There were 4 tasks to complete within 1 hour and 30 minutes. Unit tests had to pass for me to advance to the next stage. I completed all stages, and all unit tests passed. I received an email stating I did not pass, without any feedback or additional information. I am unsure what I could have done better or changed.

Questions

Build Cloud storage system.

This involves four tasks, expanding on the initial setup:

  1. Create a cloud file storage in memory.

    • Keep track of who owns which file, the filename, and its location.
    • Implement functions such as addFile and removeFile.
  2. In later stages, implement additional functions:

    • changeOwnership
    • assignCapacity
    • updateCapacity
    • copyFile
    • deleteFile
  3. Implement a function to find a file by prefix and/or suffix if it exists.

  4. Incorporate calculations related to file sizes:

    • If a user's next action would exceed their cloud capacity, return false.
    • If a user is deleting a file, lower their used capacity accordingly.
