Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Application Submission -> HackerRank OA -> Phone Interview.
Unfortunately, I was not able to pass the Phone Interview.
After the phone interview, generally, there is an Onsite round, which consists of a couple of rounds back to back.
Questions
HackerRank was a bit tough and had proper C++-level implementation questions. The phone interview was of the medium-hard LeetCode level, and I gave a solution which was not the most optimal one.
