Interview
Invited to give a technical interview using Codility. The problems were not too difficult, but the instructions lacked clarity. The process would have gone much smoother with some way to get clarification on the tasks during the interview process, so you don't waste too much time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a bridge with two lanes that can only hold a certain amount of weight, how many cars, out of a specified list, can pass through?
There were a total of four interview rounds: a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, and a loop consisting of system design and coding rounds. The interviews went very well, and after each round, the interviewers seemed highly impressed and mentioned that I would hear back from the recruiter soon. However, I was ultimately rejected because the decision came down to a very close comparison between me and another candidate. Additionally, the recruiter was not very helpful throughout the process, which made the experience more frustrating.
Gave OA after passing the interview screening. Recruiter will reach out it was only 1 problem in the OA on hackerrank to solve and recruiter will reach out immediately after that’s been solved
