A long HackerRank coding test gives you 60 minutes to do 2 LeetCode questions. If you aren't practicing LeetCode now, you will have a problem with this interview. I recommend doing the HackerRank interview prep or LeetCode prep.
Questions
One of the questions was finding the maximum number of pairs where a[i] > b[j]. Each element can be in no more than one pair. The arrays 'a' and 'b' are unsorted arrays with duplicates.

IBM Work Experiences
- 3.0Known Company, But DirectionlessEntry Level Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesNovember 21, 2023Pros: Well-known company. Good experience.Cons: The company has no direction. As soon as the next big thing comes out, they will try to shift the whole company to do that one thing. They are always late to the party and competing with companies that actually hire top talent. Layoffs are commonplace, and unless you are working on the current thing, you are at risk.
