Had a online coding interview after phone call
This was honestly the worst interview I have ever had. I could constantly hear the interviewer chuckle in the background if I got a question wrong, and he would actually say out loud "Next time actually know how to code before you interview". Seriously? Not only is that extremely rude and unprofessional, but the fact that he felt the need to reprimand someone because they did not know the correct solution is a serious concern. Why exactly is someone who clearly does not care about the interview process and the interviewee in charge of interviews? Additionally, when i asked for him to repeat the question, he would act like its my fault that I could not decipher the question through his thick accent. I didn't realize asking for clarification and repeating the question was a crime. To add insult to injury, he even had to audacity to try to teach me a "life lesson" by repeating to me that I should "learn to code before wasting everyone time" AFTER the interview ended. I mean, what does one even say to something like that?
I'm very well aware that many people posting here may do so because they are disgruntled that they didn't land the job and try to get back at the company, but I can assure you I'm not one of those. I have a much better job lined up because of being rejected by two sigma, so I don't exactly mind that I didn't do well. Imagine actually accepting the offer and later having to work with people like that.
first interview was 60 minutes long with a leetcode hard question. second interview was 2 back to back 60 minute leetcode hard with emphasis on data structures. each interview had a 5 minute introduction and 10 minute at the end to ask questions
Standard medium difficulty hackerrank. The question involved decoded an encoded string. It was not something I had seen on LeetCode before and I think was unique to the company. The question was not that difficult but I ran out of time right before I could finish answering.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Decode a string encoded using a specific encoding algorithm.
It started of with one phone screen, then if you pass you have 2 back to back technicals, then 3 1 hour behaviorals, hiring committee, and management committee. Standard Leetcode and behavioral questions.
