Horrible experience. The only good thing was the initial recruiter call; she was really nice and kind.

Then I reached the live coding interview with two interviewers and was rejected with terrible, unfair, and mistaken feedback.

What happened is that I was two minutes away from a solution before I was cut off. Approximately three minutes after finishing the interview, I sent a follow-up email showing the minimal corrections needed and the tests passing.

Afterwards, they sent a rejection email with extremely unfair, contradictory, and long feedback. In short, it said I was super far from a working solution and that I didn't know about data structures, among other things. I was totally surprised.

It became clear that they only knew one way to solve the problem (and it wasn’t the most efficient). They weren’t open to considering alternatives.

I tried to explain my approach. It didn’t require additional data structures, and my solution ran at O(n) time and O(1) space. They rejected it on the basis that it wasn’t the one they were aware of, which was obviously a major red flag.

At one point, even one of the interviewers got confused and made a mistake during the interview, so I had to correct him.

Overall, the process was just terrible. I don't want to judge the company just because of two unprofessional engineers, but I hope these kinds of things are urgently addressed by the company. Honestly, it's quite embarrassing for Miro and the engineers working there, and it really sucks for us, the candidates.

NDA signed, but it was basically a tricky live coding problem on HackerRank.

Be prepared for tricky problems that don't actually assess your skills as an engineer, but more your math puzzle-solving skills.
