Interview
The process was kind of long. After I had completed my online assessments, it had come time for the coding interview. My interviewer had asked me if I had seen the question before. I said I have.
I didn't think this was a question that was going to get them to ask me a different question, I just thought it was a curious question. Anyways, he then changed the problem from a problem I knew how to solve to a problem I didn't know how to solve.
So I was not too happy with that because I don't believe you should be penalized for studying.
I solved it and we went to the next problem. He asked if I had seen this one,
I said yes, and he again changed to a problem I hadn't seen before.
Honesty hurts.
