Had a coding round today (only one round today). First one: Solved optimally O(n) time & O(1) space. Came to solution quickly, and interviewer was happy with it. Second one: Got tripped up on the interviewer’s direction before I could even give my approach. Spent too much time discussing their idea/ me trying to understand their direction. Ran out of time, but they asked for test cases which ran us over by 4 min. I feel horrible about my performance, and feel like I’m going to be rejected. I have the rest of my on-site at the end of the week. Is one bad coding round enough for a reject? TC: 0 YOE: 7 #meta #facebook #onsite
Can you clarify - did you get a working solution to the second problem at all? Unclear in your post. I assume you have another round coming? If you only miss 1 of 4 and pass the other rounds you’ve got a decent shot.
chances not good because there’s 2000 people applying for same position
It depends on the interviewer. I'd say it's a coin toss.
It could be a reject.Similar thing to me got rejected and blocked for 12 months
Just did bad on one of the coding questions, and the rest went well?
Yup, I solved the first question perfectly but took some time in explaining the logic because of that no time left for the second question so I just discussed the solution, interviewer seemed fine with it. But later got reject with one year cool off

When I was at Meta, one bad coding round was not enough to reject if other interviews came in strong. Tbh the resume also mattered in such cases.
Good to hear. Thanks for the response!
