Software Engineer Apprentice Interview Experience

Process

I applied and received a coding challenge about two days later. I applied toward the end of the application window for apprenticeships, as I heard about it late.

I completed the coding challenge three days after receiving it, which was the last day I was allowed to and the only four-hour block I had free.

It was through Karat.io and involved two medium LeetCode questions. I was given four hours for this, which was enough time for me to pass all the test cases, as I only took three hours.

They give you the option to take a break and come back later, so I didn't think time was that important. I guess they did care about time, though, as I wasn't given an opportunity for a phone interview afterward despite passing all the test cases.

shrug I received a rejection about four weeks later.

Questions

Two questions, which were basically a variation of justify text and longest repeating substring.
