I applied directly from the HackerRank career page. HR reached out pretty quickly. They scheduled an interview with the Engineering Manager (Integrations), Miles Smith, but it was rescheduled due to the federal holiday of Juneteenth. Another HR contacted me to schedule an interview with a senior engineer, Antonio. HR shared a list of formats for the rounds to be conducted.

The first round was technical coding, involving DSA/Algo problems.

On the day of the interview, I was asked to write a CRUD API for Stocks on Node.js. I felt unprepared to initiate the interview and requested to reschedule. The interviewer asked me to reach out to HR for it and then left the chat. After following up with HR, I was told that my candidacy for the role would not be considered. I was rejected due to ambiguity and without an appropriate assessment. I felt disappointed with the whole process ending so abruptly. This was one of my dream companies to work with. Quite unfortunate.

NodeJS Stock Trades API CRUD functions:

• List all trades
• List trade by Id
• Put, patch, and delete trade by Id
• Fix routes
• Test cases of API with Mocha
