I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Aug 2019
Interview
I set up a phone interview when I was comfortable, called me one of the engineers and together we go to HackerRank website where he explained the question to me and told me that in 40 minutes he would call again and go over the solution.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of character you must delete all the characters that got repeated 3 or more times consecutively and add '0' in the end of the array for every deleted character
Example:
"aabbbbcdddee" -> "aacee0000000"
"22221" ->"00001 "
The problem must be solved in:
O(1) memory
O(n) time
And you can't overwrite a cell in the array more than once.
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
