Interview
I applied through their website in October for a software engineer new graduate role in London and I was sent a Hackerrank coding challenge a week later. The challenge included a single problem which was supposed to be done in 60 minutes. It took me a lot of time to understand the requirements and the examples and I didn't find the solution right away, so by the end of that hour, I managed to complete the code and fix the compilation errors, but only 2/12 (or so) test cases would pass. I didn't have time to adjust the code so it was sent like this. A week later, I received an e-mail stating they would not progress with my application.

Question 1
The question regarded a 2-player game called "Dots & Arrows", where each player would be able to add an arrow on a 2D plan according to some rules and receive a point if he closed a square. Given the board at a certain time, I had to determine how many points each player had won.
Several rounds of technical interviews followed by an on-site in their NYC office. The interview I had was a typical online hackerrank SWE interview where I was given a problem by the interviewer and asked to solve it.
