Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and emailed them back a few days later. The HR interview went fine, but the technical interview was very difficult. A few weeks later, I received an email stating they had moved on. By far, this was the most difficult technical interview I have encountered so far.
Questions
I don't want to give the question away, but it was about a data structure that is almost never used in production code, and which I didn't even study for.
