Received an invitation to attempt 3hr hackerrank coding challenge What would this comprises of (OOPS, Algorithms, App design etc)? Kindly share any pointers/tips if you had already encountered? About me: 5+yrs of exp in backend sw development.
Kindly practice app design!
Have u interviewed with them?
Why waste time in coding challenges đ
It's our onsite coding challenge. OP'd be doing with an engineer.
Is this replacing an on-site? If itâs just another hoop to jump through after a phone screen, I wouldnât bother. You can interview with another company with less hassle.
Coding challenge is a practical evaluation. They'll give you a desc. of what you need to do. e.g. they have a webserver that you can hit to get a code. You need to manipulate/process the response and send additional requests to the webserver with your results until you reach a terminal point. You'll need to write all this from scratch but are allowed full access to internet.
3 hours? Not even a guarantee of interview. Skip.
For BE we would ask you algorithmic questions and evaluate you on time/space complexity of your solution, see how well you identified and addressed edge case etc. For FE we would typically give you a working code with some bugs in it - and see if you can troubleshoot. Or ask you to use an API while building a quick component. We would evaluate you on working solution, code composition, adhering to design/responsiveness, memory leaks etc
My friend got fizzbuzz during this challenge last year
Loooool
