Forward Deployed Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

First, I had to complete a 90-minute online screening with two coding questions.

The questions were on HackerRank, so both involved taking in input from an array and returning a calculated value using information within the array.

I could not complete the questions within the time constraints because they were difficult to decipher.

Questions

Given an array of times (hh) ranging from 00:00 to 24:00 (inclusive), calculate the smallest number of minutes between any two times. This includes wrap-around (e.g., 23:20 and 00:10 would have a 00:50 interval).
