Any idea why companies reject even after perfect or near perfect hackerrank scores? I'm applying for New Grad roles and I find this baffling. Stripe - solved all test cases and gave a reasonable explanation for part 2. (Rejected) Citadel - 2 test cases out of 3 questions not passed (Rejected) McKinsey - All test cases passed (Rejected) No response from many other companies even after good coding challenge performances. Any ideas why? Each test takes on average 90 minutes and its frustrating not to hear back from them or get rejected. Some insight would be helpful. #stripe #citadel #mckinsey #robinhood
Can't speak to the others, but failing two test cases across three questions seems like a straightforward explanation for why Citadel rejected you. They have lots of applicants who ace all the test cases, and their phone interviews and onsites are much harder.
I heard of people getting perfect on Citadel’s OA and getting rejected.
@Amazon why are they rejected?
It’s not about just solving a problem, it’s how you solve it.
I think most companies do a deeper check on your resume along with your OA

Usually they look at how u code as well. How u r structuring code, variable naming, not repeating logic etc. But sometimes it might be that they have got other candidate already in pipeline ahead of you interview stage
