Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interviewer was late. They then proceeded to paste a massive wall of text containing the coding problem, which was written in a really hard-to-read and long-winded way. It took me 10 minutes just to grasp the question.
Ultimately, I was only able to partially finish it due to the verbosity of the overall simple problem.
Questions
The basic finding involved matching pairs within an array and manipulating indexes. However, the problem description was over 500 words long, with extensive irrelevant filler content that made it more confusing than it needed to be.
