Just did a Hakerrank test for an SDE position in Amazon. There were 2 coding challenges and 2 free text boxes for the explanations. One coding challenge timed out in half of the tests as I could not find another approach but O(N^2). I have provided explanations for both of the cases. Another test was all right. Your thoughts?

  • The test is there to weed out as many people as possible. Study more and go at it again in 12 months

      OP
      Yeah, I did not do enough LC for sure. Have signed another offer anyway so will come back to it in a years time.

  • Exactly it matches my experience. For the first problem (similar to 4 sum) , i got TLE for few test cases, they rejected me as well. Last year, i was able to attend onsite. This year no

  • This was back in 2018, but I remember I finished 1 completely, and 1 had a test or two still not passing that I never figured out. Thought they’d pass on me, but turns out it was good enough, went to do full onsite and get an offer

  • Not sure if you would clear that round but I had similar situation and got call for next rounds. I remember explaining my approach if I had more time in the given text box. All the best.
