Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Waste of time where you are supposed to do live coding (LC hard questions) in front of the camera. Their questions are even tougher than Google and Amazon. The panel was not at all interactive.

Questions

Solve these 3 questions in 2 hours.

Leetcode 151 - Solve in O(1) time complexity strictly in C when even strrev() usage is NOT allowed on the Hackerrank platform.

Leetcode 25, and Base 64 encoding questions.

These 3 questions were followed by typical OS questions like:

  • IPC mechanisms
  • Concurrent I/O techniques (Select/Poll)
  • TLS Handshake
  • How to implement polymorphism in C
