Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Flew to Romania for a European graduate interview day.

Had 4 technical rounds, solving various problems.

Then, I had a 'tie breaker' round as the panel was on the fence. This resulted in a ridiculous interview:

TLDR: Interviewer: Have you ever written C? Me: No. Interviewer: Implement malloc in C.

I didn't pass.

Questions

Implement malloc in C.
