Backend Developer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
I applied online, and after one week, I received the online assessment. It consisted of two parts: the Cognify Game Assessment and the HackerRank coding assessment.
The Cognify assessment was divided into five mini-games designed to check problem-solving skills and numerical abilities. They were easy but offered very little time, making them a bit unnerving.
The HackerRank coding assessment was easy, with three questions and three hours allotted.
Initially, I felt it was very straightforward, as I completed the first two questions in under 20 minutes. However, the last one proved tricky. The logic was simple, but it exceeded the execution time limit for some test cases. I tried my best for two hours but could only get five out of nine test cases to pass.
Now I am waiting for their response. Let's hope for the best. 🤞
Questions
The three coding questions were:
- Searching in the string
- Basic File I/O operations
- Triplet count based on conditions
