I applied through a recruiter, and the process was fast. First, I had a phone call with the recruiter, and later on, my resume was selected for the next round, a coding challenge. After a week, there was a one-hour coding challenge on Coderpad. The interviewer asked a few questions based on my previous experiences and projects, and then we went on to the Coderpad. Although I was able to solve the coding challenge and answered the questions based on time complexity, I got the rejection the next day without any feedback.
The question was to input a 2D array and find the three points closest to the origin from given sets of points. Then there were questions on the time complexity of the solution.
