Twilio Hackerrank WTF

Just took the Twilio Hacker-rank challenge and one of the questions wasn't even set up for my language. I switched to other languages (e.g. Java) and there was a bunch of boilerplate code that I didn't have. Do I just automatically fail? Wtf is up with Twilio not setting up the challenge for all languages? #twilio #hackerrank #onlineassessment #tech #interview

Talk to your recruiter. They should be able to rectify the situation.

I refuse to indulge with companies that ask me to do hackerrank. Either give me a phone screen or take me to the onsite directly

Same here. If you don't have time for me I don't have time for you

They might not have enough spare engeering man hours to filter out legit candidates who can code. But I agree that if the recruiters reached out to you, and you worked at a good company, then they should bypass online assessments and go straight to a phone screen with a engineer.

What language had the boilerplate?

Java and python I think?

What language were you wanting to use? Was your HR challenge the one with two questions allowing 2hr total?
