Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

They gave me a four-hour HackerRank problem to solve, which I did. HackerRank graded me at 100%. They said I did great and that they'd call me.

They proceeded to ghost me afterwards.

Even 100% isn't good enough for a rejection response.

Avoid this and save four hours of your life!

Questions

Basic implementation question and some heap questions.
