Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Applied through the website. Received a code challenge exam on HackerRank. Did the 3 practice problems on HackerRank quickly. Went to do the real test afterwards.
The challenge level raised dramatically compared to the practice problems. Also, it's 75 minutes for 4 problems!
I spent 30 minutes solving the first one. I could have done it quicker, but I wasn't familiar using HackerRank and I was rushing. After solving the first problem, I knew I couldn't finish the rest in time, so I gave up.
I don't like time constraints on the coding challenge. It's probably another thing that caused me to take longer to complete the first problem; I was rushing. Most of the time, quick coding only produces inefficient junk. I'm not a quick coder, but I get my coding projects done quickly and efficiently because I start/plan early. Hopefully, if an HR sees this, they can improve it.
