Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

I was contacted by a recruiter immediately, and a phone interview was scheduled.

Later, I was called for a 1:1 interview session in NY.

There were four interviews in total.

I received a 'No' within a week after I returned.

Questions

Phone Interview:

  • Find the number of inversions in an array (describe & code)
  • Find collinear points in a given set of 2D points (describe & code)

Onsite:

Can't reveal the questions - signed NDA.

The questions consisted of algorithm design and implementation. They involved designing solutions to large problems and speaking or writing them out.

Interviewers were nice. I was not good enough :)
