Facebook phone interview REJECT 🥺
Like wtf? It was for E4 role. We had 30 minutes for the coding task. I solved the question using 3 approaches n2 time -> n time n space -> n time And yet they rejected me!
You coded up all three approaches within 30 minutes? Are you sure there were no bug? Did you handle all the edge cases?
Yes! It is a medium question on leetcode with high frequency.
Two issues I can see are: 1. In the most optimal code, I did if check and inside if while check do something. The if was redundant. 2. For the second approach after coding up, the code failed for one of the test scenario which I said it would pass. Then the interviewer reiterated that it won’t actually pass.
What was the question if you don’t mind?
You solved only 1 question. Facebook expects 2 questions.
You need to solve it in O(1) dude
Alright can’t even parse the input. Alright. Alright. Alright.
Yes they expect 2 Q's to be completed in the 45 min interview ! The second one needs to be at least correct in approach and coded to some extent (the interviewer should be convinced it'll work if completed)
Really that’s a lot
I had the first one working and got the second one almost working with some help/push from the interviewer and I still got a reject ! This was for a software engg position. It's been a really bad start to the year (I just flunked a Microsoft on site last week) ! Hope the year gets better :(
Yea they expect you to solve 2 mediums in 30-40 min.
Cheer up. Apply to Google. We expect only 1 question to be solved in 45 mins :) if you’re quick it will just be an extension of the original question which can be solved in 5-10 mins.
Fuck em
