So how was the OA?

[upper agate]

Title

[weary kraken]

not bad but pretty weird because it was like a mix of everything. 2 leetcode, a java OOP question, some basic SQL, and some multiple choice predicting code output

[upper agate]

Intersting, what level of leetcode?

[weary kraken]

relatively easy, one was a tree question, the other I used a heap for but prob other ways to do it

[eternal wharf]

Mine was two greedy lol

💀

[weary kraken]

tf?

[eternal wharf]

Didn’t get all test cases

For both of them

But MCq was easy

[weary kraken]

the java oop question was a waste of time tbh shit was literally just writing getter and setter functions 💀

[eternal wharf]

lol fr

[frosty crypt]

when apply?

[weary kraken]

September 18th

[orchid yacht]

Bill!

[valid pelican]

were you limited to using java?

[weary kraken]

just for the oop question lol

[valid pelican]

damn interesting

[weary kraken]

but it's incredibly easy and basically gives you the answer in the question description

[orchid yacht]

How many questions you think you need to do to get Phone ?

[weary kraken]

no idea, @eternal wharf said he bombed it so idk

[orchid yacht]

I wanna do as little as possible

[eternal wharf]

I think I got all except the two coding

I passed like11 out fo 15 for both

just did brute force

[weary kraken]

o that's not even bad

[orchid yacht]

@eternal wharf

[eternal wharf]

couldn't figure out greedy

[orchid yacht]

How is that bad?

I was planning to solve half if that

[eternal wharf]

don't they expect you to solve coding perfectly lol

[orchid yacht]

[eternal wharf]

most oas

[weary kraken]

always depends on the company

[eternal wharf]

yeah I have just never seen a company that didn't want perfect on oa

[orchid yacht]

kensho told me to fk off

[eternal wharf]

except amazon

and codesignal

gca

[weary kraken]

yeah codesignals is where i've seen it most

[orchid yacht]

Puss in boots 2 was fire

[weary kraken]

probably because if they made their own custom OA they expect you to ace it

[weary kraken]

I did not watch but I'll take your word for it 💀

[orchid yacht]

bitch uses puss in boot as pfp and didn't watch it

[weary kraken]

i've had a puss in boots pfp for like 4 years

[orchid yacht]

you gotta watch #2 man

[weary kraken]

someday I will

[upper agate]

Palantir is a good example, I had a DP question on my last one and only got like half the test cases and moved on

[upper agate]

....what? It's your pfp

It's a damn good movie btw

[weary kraken]

I know I'm a disappointment, I will watch it soon

[orchid yacht]

That’s what I’m saying man a psycho

[eternal wharf]

Wait why does bill application say colorstack

[weary kraken]

idk lol

was wondering the same thing

[upper agate]

Yeah that's a great point

[upper agate]

@weary kraken Just took it, thought the coding was kind of difficult (some DP or greedy problem with requirements I didn't really understand, and a three sum modification that didn't allow for sorting, which I also didn't finish)

I didn't pass all the cases so I'm not expecting anything good though

[upper agate]

How many did you get? I also got two pretty hard problems and just gave brute force solutions/what I thought made sense for the problem

[weary kraken]

I must have got lucky then, mine were def easier

[upper agate]

Yeah idk, either way how long did it take to hear back?

A day?

The rest of it was indeed easy though

[weary kraken]

yep a day, they were fast

[upper agate]

Welp, hoping for the best

Thx

[eternal wharf]

I think i got the same one

Lol

[eternal wharf]

I got 11/15 for both

I think

And my mcq and sql were correct probably

[upper agate]

@eternal wharf Can I DM?

[eternal wharf]

sure

[upper agate]

Thanks, just went ahead

[upper agate]

@weary kraken Have you been able to schedule it yet? Have an upcoming deadline

[weary kraken]

ye I'm doing the phone today

[upper agate]

Oh damn, how long did it take to get the actual scheduling email submitting the form?

[weary kraken]

About a day

[upper agate]

Cool, lmk how it goes if you don't mind

[weary kraken]

will do

[orchid yacht]

Imagine being cracked

[weary kraken]

I wish

[weary kraken]

for anyone in here curious, recruiter said bill is taking 25 SWE interns this season

[weary kraken]

very chill, recruiter was super nice. just normal behavioral questions and a lot of info about the company and internshi program

[orchid yacht]

no offseason right

[weary kraken]

i doubt it tbh but I didn't ask so idk

[eternal wharf]

oh damn

[eternal wharf]

I have mine scheduled for tuesday can i dm?

[weary kraken]

sure

[silent basalt]

i got the email from the recruiter saying i will be receiving the OA, but I havent gotten it yet, its be about a day now

[upper agate]

Interesting, I recieved it almost instantly

[silent basalt]

It’s a separate email right?

If so then haven’t received it yet

@upper agate

[valid pelican]

did the OA few hours ago it was 2 DPs

[upper agate]

Question for you. Do you think it'd be a bad idea to email the recruiter to ask about when I can get the phone scheduled? I have a deadline two weeks from now (could possibly get extended, depends on other factors) and still haven't recieved the actual scheduling email (filled out the form late wednesday)

[weary kraken]

yeah you could ask, bc it shouldn't take this long to get the scheduling link

[silent basalt]

Wait for me it says it would be 9 questions was that the same as yours?

[upper agate]

Yup that's correct

Not all of them are coding

[valid pelican]

there are MCQs too

[valid pelican]

oof mine said they are taking 20 SWE interns this season

maybe miscommunication

from the hiring side
