A recruiter contacted me a couple of days after I applied and scheduled a technical round about a week later. I had been warned that the questions would be difficult and tightly timed. That proved accurate: I had 30 minutes for a challenging pattern I had never seen before, got partway through it, and could not finish in the time box.
The short window made the experience stressful from the beginning. It left little room to recover if the approach did not click immediately. I did not receive an offer, and I came away thinking that the timing and unfamiliar pattern, rather than my general ability to reason through code, were the biggest obstacles.
Location: New York, NY. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
