Feeling hopeless after failing in tech interviews at two sigma and google. Uber negotiations didn’t go well either. Declined Expedia offering. What does two sigma want? I wrote bug free optimal code in the first two rounds, OOPS design round was okay, above average. Still got the reject.
Two Sigma, Google, and Uber are just not easy to get in per sé. You realize that writing clean code is not enough, right?
I guess it has something to do with behavioral or cultural fit. People tend not to like me.
What are your personal software releases? If nothing, gtfo.
You mean open source work?
Something out on the market - a website, app, game, financial tool, or entertainment piece. Like a finished product.
how do you know you wrote bug free optimal code? what is OOPS? how do you know you preformed above average? honestly, it sounds like you're arrogant and maybe have a mild case of Dunning-Kruger effect. the good thing is you're asking for advice.
Coz he asked me the standard ones and one of them said “great job” with my code. In the second coding round all the test cases succeeded against my code.
I say great job to people that don't make it, it usually helps to have candidates feeling more confident (they perform better)
Sounds like you need to work on coming across as someone people want to work with. These companies are getting all of the top talent in their Pipeline. They can be picky. One way to help with this is to prepare some questions that will get a great conversation started. Another is to make sure you go in with a few stories of great work cross-functional work you've done that you can genuinely get excited about discussing. The more passionate you are when you talk about your work, the more excited they'll get
What’s your race?
Define needful
Two Sigma’s interviews tend to have multiple questions per round, maybe you didn’t get to all of them? Also you can’t really have an “okay” round with them to get an offer.
You could get to the right answer but if it took you longer than others and you did it inelegantly, that could be a problem. If it’s not technical then it’s personal. If you’re not the kind of person other engineers want to hang out with 8-12 hours/day — whatever that reason may be — you won’t get the job. Maybe they thought you wouldn’t bring anything creative or innovative to the table. Or they thought you were boring and uninspired. Or needed too much help during the coding tests. And as compared to people who answered the technical questions correctly but didn’t bring all this baggage, you were rejected.

Why did you tag Facebook? You didn't interview with FB
Coz Facebook guys do interview in these companies
