Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Mercor (San Francisco, CA) nel mese di giu 2026
Colloquio
Spoke with an engineer. They ask you random questions like what's the slowest sort algorithm and its time complexity and have you code-review two functions. They make their entire decisions in 5 minutes.
Engineer was quite smug and wanted to leave the conversation after 10 minutes.
