Software Engineer Interview Experience - Serbia

Process

The interview was horrible. The interviewer didn't want to discuss anything or listen to my chosen solution and the reasoning behind it. He only cared about the code.

I decided not to write all the tests, but to discuss everything that I would test out loud. This was because 45 minutes is not enough time to write several implementations and cover them with quality tests.

In the end, I was rejected because I didn't cover the edge cases with tests. During the implementation, I optimized the solution from linear to constant complexity. However, the interviewer decided in his feedback that by doing so, I had simply complicated my code.
