I applied online, and the recruiter reached out for my availability and scheduled the first two rounds. I was informed that the second interview would be dependent on the first. My recruiter then left TikTok, and my case was assigned to someone else.

I believe the new recruiter shifted my calls by mistake, causing some confusion that resulted in me being tagged as "Candidate No Show." I sent multiple emails to clarify, and my interviews were rescheduled. It was quite frustrating.

The first interview happened and went very well. I was confident in explaining my projects and completed the coding question well ahead of time, providing correct time and space complexity. Later, I received an email stating I had been rejected, but the invite to the second interview had not been canceled like it was earlier. Therefore, I still showed up prepared, but no interviewer appeared. I emailed my recruiter, and they informed me that the team had decided to go with another candidate without providing any feedback.

LRU Cache. They simply asked me, "Are you familiar with LRU Cache? If yes, then implement it."
