Process
I initially scheduled two coding interviews. The first question was not that difficult, but I mistakenly failed to give the correct answer. For the second interview, I thought my answer was what the interviewer expected.
Because I was only good at one question, I was given an additional third interview. The question in this interview was very difficult to solve within 30 minutes.
Ultimately, I could not get an offer.
