Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first session was a get-together with an engineering manager. It was a generic discussion around the company, expectations, my background, and my motivation.

In the second session, there was an algorithm problem, which was designed to check how you approach problems.

Questions

For the algorithm problem, the interviewer posed a famous question at Klarna: how can we find the maximum number of points visible while changing the angle of a camera located at a central point? I believe this was not a fair question and could cause many talented individuals to be filtered out. I couldn't produce a correct answer without significant help.
