Hello,
I am new to the job searching world in the Bay Area. I am going to have my first round of interview with Roblox through karat soon.
Browsing around I understood the interview is going to be more about speed of solving the problem.
Can anyone help if the platform that karat will interview on is a place where we can run program multiple times similar to leetcode or is it just a notepad where they are more interested in our approach rather than the exact solution ?
Want to see the real deal?

I went blank initially but pulled myself together and solved one problem-test case passed(it was an easy question but I took time) , then, the interviewer said since we don’t have enough time to do the 2nd question , just asked me to explain how it can be done ,I explained and I think that should work. But I did not the write any code . Should I go for a redo?
The environment is code friendly and you can run the code as many times as you want but I would suggest against doing that and recommend running through the test cases manually. The biggest problem I faced was with their auto-complete which used to change my variable names with something else when I pressed tab. That wasted 5-7 minutes of my time when I was finally running the code against test cases. Oh yeah, the interviewer will ask you to convert the test cases they provided into code and run them against your code to prove that it works. Questions are not difficult but yeah follow ups can be a little tricky and thus have to factor that in writing the first code.
Overall, personally I felt the process was good and user friendly. I got to go to the next round after the interview.
