Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Logic Test
  2. Logic Test (Monitored)
  3. Coding Test
  4. Interview

What amused me was for the coding test; two very simple questions were asked:

  • Evaluate a Polish notation-based expression (operands precede the operator).
  • Determine the suffix (st, nd, or th, like 1st, 2nd, 23rd, etc.) for a given number.

Both of these questions were quite easy (LeetCode-simple), but the coding test feedback was negative.

I believe they are just increasing their headcount for interviewed candidates without being serious about actual recruitment.

Questions

  1. Evaluate a polish notation-based expression (operands precede operator).

  2. Determine the suffix (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) for a given number.
