Crossed a line with my boss
I had a Coinbase technical screen conducted by Karat yesterday. After a brief introduction, the interviewer asked some questions on scale, reliability and some system design questions for about 10-15 minutes. Next we jumped on a coding interview, where I was given a LC hard problem. The interviewer clearly mentioned the #1 aspect he is looking for is the completeness of the solution that is executable and runs all the test cases well. I asked the interviewer if I can use my IDE (for immediate compilation issues or auto complete features) for some part of the code. He refused and mentioned I can only use their online codePad or any coding. If required I can look up at any docs.(Will not be helpful to reduce the time to code) Finally I did take solid 5-8 minutes to fix the compilation errors at the end, and I missed a single update statement due to which my code did not work. I could have easily debugged if I had 2-3 more minutes of time. Bad luck :( and disappointed. #coinbase #karat
Karat usually gives an option to retake no questions ask within 24 hours . You can give it a shot if you feel so
actually I did not have that option. I gave Karat interviews for Better.com and that one had a redo option. So it could depend on the company they are hiring for as well.
Oh so you posted on leetcode. I saw your post today
making sure I contribute back... :)
Please share link of leetcode post
Hey, basically they do credit you for any progress that you make. If your solution was just 5 minutes away, you should be good!
Not really
Not a lot of companies allow you to use IDE, an online environment is much better, when I was at google, we use google doc.
but they do expect you to execute the code with all the test cases passing well
same as everywhere else. when you exercise on leetcode or other similar sites, do you write the solution in IDE then put it back? If so, then you probably should stop doing that. Writing code in plain code editor shows how familar are you with the basics, you don't need fanncy library to solve LC problems.
Do they ask LC hard? What kind of question it was?
i did a karat interview. it fucking sucked.
How many you were able to solve and how did you feel about it?
2 completely unreasonable questions were solved. I felt that this company was completely fucking lazy in actually taking the time to interview me so they did the easy way out and just hired some company like karat. I'm not interviewing any company just a karat interviewer, for me I felt disconnected and cheap. Half way in, i literally told them I quit the interview and they basically begged me to complete the interview... did not get the job frankly after karat i'm glad i didn't join their shitty company.
I had a similar experience. Although I solved the first question completely, there wasn't enough time for the second question
Did you get call back?
Similar experience i got to solve first part but was rejected
These karat interviews are ridiculous. Shitty interviewers with even shittier problems
