Plaid Phone Interview

I got rejected form Plaid after the phone interview that I thought went well. I tumbled a bit due to an unusual method of interviewing (not coderpad/hackerrank but on your own laptop), but was able to give efficient solutions and a working code and felt like I had good communication going on with the interviewers. I wonder what went wrong? TC: 230k #plaid #interview

What kind of questions were asked? Were they Lc kind and what difficulty?

First one was a pure implementation of some toy problem. It wasn't hard but just annoying because you have to find and use a library that works but might not be used to. Second one was LC med, which also wasn't that hard.

yeah I struggle with those problems as well which are not hard but require some libraries that I have to look up during interviews

High demand for positions equates to high standards. It could just be that you weren’t perfect at everything, while they were expecting perfect. Or it could just be dumb unluck.

I got rejected at the recruiter screen lol. I am guessing that Plaid has a lot of people applying so they can probably afford to be picky. Their process even includes a take home assignment.

I had the same experience, went very well and coded efficiently, passed the test cases and extended the solution to stretch question, but got rejection. As an experienced interviewer and interviewee, i feel disappointed of this interview result.

I got rejected recently too lol. Finished early, went through edge cases, asked if they wanted me to write unit tests, and got told that my solution was pretty good. Explained runtime and memory impact of my solution. It was a pretty pleasant interview experience overall but I guess if even people from FB and G are applying they can be picky.
