Software Engineer Apprentice Interview Experience
Process
I applied and received an invite for a Karat.io coding challenge weeks later.
It was only one question for a 4-hour block, which was strange. However, I took into account what previous Glassdoor posters mentioned about time.
I finished within an hour, passing all test cases, and submitted.
Just received my automated reject email today. I really wish I could have received feedback.
