Initial technical interview was setup by a recruiter reaching out to me. It was a 45 min interview via Zoom. It began on time and the interviewer asked me if I have anything more to say than whats on the resume. I told him about the current work I am doing and then we moved to the coding interview. It was a LC Medium question. I hadnt seen it earlier so I walked the interviewer through my thinking and the approach. I started writing the code on CoderPad and when I tried to execute it, I had trouble running the code. I tried many times but I wasnt able to get it running. The issue was syntactical and the error messages werent intuitive enough for me to understand that it was syntax issue. Nor was the interviewer able to point it out. So at the end, the interviewer agreed the logic is right but also said its fine that the code didnt run. How do I know it was syntax error? I pasted the code as is in IntelliJ and found out the issue in seconds. I ran the same code after correcting the syntax on LC and it beat 98% of answers. So yeah, I messed up on syntax. Sorry but I am not sorry. However, from here my experience dipped. They did not respond back with an update after almost 10 days of interview. I emailed them multiple times but no response. The least they can do is say that they are not moving forward or at least provide a time line for the same. But no, just ignore all the emails even though I sent it like 2-3 times. For me that is the extreme height of unprofessionalism. First thank you for rejecting a candidate for getting the syntax wrong and second, thank you for showing that you dont care about your candidates time. If i can keep even one person away from this company, I will consider my job done here.
