I recently interviewed for IC3. The coding interview I thought went best was one where I didn't pass. I made sure to communicate actively, draw in coderpad when needed etc. and synced with interviewer at each step. The interviewer was happy with algorithm which was optimal and gave a green signal to code. They did propose an alternate for which I mentioned possible issues and they agreed. I coded with my approach before time and ran different test cases and code worked fine. The interviewer added a test case too which worked. Feedback I received from recruiter for this round didn't make any sense. What could have gone wrong?

  • Welcome to the randomness of interviewing. Interviewers have spent much, much less preparing and don't care that much about learning every possible technique it getting the signal right. You are a chore to them.

    I've solved a question using Breadth First Search and the interviewer clearly only looked at the Depth First Solution. Both are correct, and both had the same time complexity, so, I just guessed wrong. That's luck

    Don't waste your time trying to figure this out. Keep going.
    Try again in a few months if you feel like.

      Roblox recruiters need improvement for sure. I am so sorry 😔.
      I don't think there is an official cool down period. Definitely try again in 6 months.

      No apologies necessary :) I had a great time speaking with the interviewers themselves. I'm definitely going to try again, 6 months isn't bad at all.

    Did they tell you it was optimal?

      It was discussed and agreed upon. I understood the reason - the interviewer who was senior only new one popular algorithm and expected me to solve same way. Because in feedback they mentioned I don't know the algo. Dodged a bullet there with rejection.

    Did the interviewer want you to implement their proposed approach ? Can you tell more about the coding question ?
