Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Technical assessment on HackerRank.

This assessment included 5 multiple-choice questions and 2 coding questions.

The multiple-choice questions focused on simple data structures and algorithms, involving:

  • Comparing time and space complexity of different algorithms.
  • Filling in the code for specific algorithms.

Questions

Coding questions on HackerRank—these were much more complex than the multiple choice.

The first one was graph-based, requiring you to understand nodes and connections between nodes and to code an algorithm to manage these (given specific constraints).

The second one was probably list/array-based and also required the usage of queues and sets.
