Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I took the interview this January. It was very hard.

I had 3 interviews in total.

The first interviewer asked about my course project and asked me to write code.

The second interview consisted of a tech talk and dinner. I was interrupted multiple times since my interviewer was chatting with other people.

The last interviewer was good. I only got through 1 problem instead of 2.

Questions
