I was sent a coding challenge to complete. Instead of HackerRank, they use Lytmus which I found incredibly annoying to work with. In fact, Lytmus completely deleted the file containing my code for a problem and replaced it with the wrong one. The recruiter just directed me to Lytmus support, which has not responded to me. A few days later after no attempt to fix or even address the issue I received a generic rejection email from the recruiter.
The nature of the problems were unique, but I'd rather be tested on designing an algorithm than spending my time figuring out how to do things (image processing, sql, Pinterest API). None of it was that hard, it was mostly just frustrating.
1st round technical phone screening with in 1 hour.
One follow up question was asked.
The problem was not too hard, but it requires you finish really fast without bugs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode 1564. Put Boxes Into the Warehouse I.
Follow up: what is maximum total box sizes.
Recruiter call, tech round, onsite and rejection call. They sent me an email about a week after the last onsite and asked me to schedule a call on the same day. I scheduled a call to listen 30 second long rejection notice. A half of interview rounds were horrible. Interviewers were not prepared and arrogant.
Good experience not the best outcome. Was 1000% sure I completed all coding and sys design but was told didn't get enough signal for the competency round. Overall very organized but not very satisfied with the response.
