Process
First, I was given a fairly simple HackerRank question to be completed in 20 minutes.
The next step was to complete a 45-minute video interview over CoderPad.
The first time the call was scheduled, they sent me a faulty CoderPad link, so I had to reschedule.
The second time the call was scheduled, my interviewer didn't show up.
Overall, I don't know what it is, but it was a terrible interview experience that just wasted my time.
Questions
The HackerRank problem was a pretty easy string/JSON parsing question.
