I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Coursera in Oct 2018
Interview
I was sent a Hackerrank challenge. I got 2 LC med/hard and was asked to solve in 1 hour. I passed all the test cases for both the problems but still did not move forward. I'd advise every not to waste their time with this company as they send out challenges to almost everyone and just reject almost everyone
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Coursera in Nov 2018
Interview
I received a Hackerrank invite via email that consisted of 2 difficult questions. My code passed all the test cases, even my own custom ones, but I still received a rejection letter.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Count the number of distinct palindromic substrings of a given string.
Well I was sent a HackerRank coding challenge which included 2 questions and just an hour to complete both. The first question was ridiculously hard but the second a little easier.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given 3 strings, one for a prefix, one full word, and one suffix, determine whether the prefix or suffix is longer based on the full word given.
I was given an online Hackerrank assessment to do. I could not finish the problems in time but put comments to explain my thought process. I expected to fail based on my responses but I did not hear back for several weeks either way on the status of my application.
