Process

The process was kind of long.

After I had completed my online assessments, it was time for the coding interview. My interviewer asked me if I had seen the question before. I said I had.

I didn't think this was a question that would make them ask me a different question; I just thought it was a curious question. Anyways, he then changed the problem from one I knew how to solve to one I didn't know how to solve.

So, I was not too happy with that because I don't believe you should be penalized for studying.

I solved it, and we went to the next problem. He asked if I had seen this one. I said yes, and he again changed it to a problem I hadn't seen before.

Honesty hurts.
