Process
Applied through a referral.
First round was talking to HR. HR also asked a couple of very simple questions.
Next round was a Skype interview with 10 minutes going over my resume and past projects, followed by a CoderPad coding question.
Questions
The problem:
I'm working on a collaborative code editor for two people. The text is synchronizing across both screens, but I've run into the problem illustrated below.
Text editors (Time 1)
||cat | |ca|t | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Person A hits enter, then:
Text editors (Time 2)
| | | |n | ||cat | |cat | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Text editors (Time 2 Expected)
| | | | ||cat | |ca|t | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The content updates, and the word "cat" shifts down a line. However, Person B's cursor remains in its original position instead of moving down a line as expected.
Implement the fixCursorRow method. Don't worry about updating the column.

Yelp Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesSeptember 2, 2020Pros: Supportive Management: Listen to employees and be transparent.Cons: Should have better benefits, like 401k contribution, etc.
- 3.0I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I couldSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJune 20, 2018Pros: Great work-life balance. Generous benefits (on par with other Bay Area tech companies). Strong engineering culture. Engineering and recruiting actively care about improving diversity and creating an atmosphere where everybody is welcome. Yelp’s public reputation may be iffy, but most of the people who work there are amazing. The majority of engineers are nice, helpful people. Jeremy Stoppelman seems like a truly good person who has the best intentions for the company and who wants to put good things back into the world. The weird part of working for Yelp was balancing the public’s perception with my own experience, since the two tended to clash.Cons: It's easy to get stuck on projects that are doomed for failure. Product management is very homogenous, and that branch of the org's diversity is extremely weak. More than a few bullies have found a comfortable place in the upper reaches of Product. It definitely has an old boy's club feel. No feedback structures exist between engineers and product management. As an engineer, 80% of my direction on projects came straight from Product, but any feedback I had, positive or negative, had to be relayed through my engineering manager. HR could be more receptive to benefits changes that the org cares about.
- 5.0Awesome company, great culture, and foodSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesNovember 7, 2020Pros: Awesome company with a great culture and food.Cons: No cons would work again in a heartbeat.
