One good thing about the process was that they responded fairly quickly. Although, it could just be because I didn’t make it to the offer.

HR and manager rounds were fairly straightforward. We talked about my experience.

The coding question was hard, at least for me. Especially if you consider the interviewer who seemed to be a junior engineer.

I don’t understand why people expect you not just to come up with a solution, but also to code it in a matter of minutes when it took hours to think of. It’s just ridiculous.

HackerRank coding question:

You are given two arrays: one representing the time people arrive at a door and another representing the direction they want to go (in or out).

You have to find at what time each person will use the door, provided no two people can use the door at the same time.

Constraints:

• The door starts in the 'in' position.
• In case of a conflict (two or more people trying to use the door at the same time), the direction previously used holds precedence.
• If there is no conflict, whoever comes first uses the door.
• If no one uses the door, it reverts back to the starting 'in' position.

Should be linear time complexity.

If you solve this, please comment with how much time you think you would need to solve this in an interview and your years of experience (YOE) – just wondering.
