Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview is pretty standard:

  1. Call with recruiter
  2. Tech screen
  3. Virtual Onsite (5 interviews) a. Coding Challenge: LeetCode and an internal question b. System Design: Design a chess game c. Project: They ask you to code out a project as if you would in real life. You need to have your own environment set up. In this section, I completed the first requirement, and then the interviewer complained that I hadn't done any input validation, but then told me to instead implement a random requirement that wasn't in the original requirement list. d. Hiring Manager: Behavioral questions e. Values: Essentially a bunch of behavioral questions related to their values. Every question seemed to boil down to "How much are you willing to work to meet our tight deadlines?"

Questions

They asked LeetCode 31.
