Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Phone interview.
  2. Asked to schedule the final interview within a week, depending on the timeframe within which they want to have the position filled.

Questions

Designing a system for a tennis tournament.

How to represent players, winners, and losers at each stage, and how to represent a game between two players.

After everything was done, they asked me how to create a parallel tournament for all the players who lost in each level and have a winner and loser selected in the finals for them.
