Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online and three days later, I was asked to submit a coding sample. It consisted of two tasks to complete in an hour.

Again, three days later, I was scheduled for a phone call with the recruiter. Following that, I was scheduled for a phone interview two weeks later.

I was asked to complete a coding challenge, which I completed partially. Although it was a bit easy, I just wasted some time thinking. After that, I didn't have a chance to be scheduled for the next round.

PS: Just think out loud.

Questions

I was asked to solve a programming challenge about paragraph justification.
