Were the coding questions themselves extraordinarily difficult? It just doesn't seem unusual to be consistently asked coding questions during interviews for a software engineering position (assuming that's what you were going for).
- floppydisk 15y agoThe hardest one I ever had was to make word ladder perform in linear time. The only time I saw anything similar was in an old ACM-ICPC competition problem set. It's not just that they ask coding questions, it's that they demand you wring ever optimization possible out of them even when you might not see any other way to do it.
- curtis 15y agoNo, it's not unusual for all your interviewers to ask you coding questions. It is, however, a lot more work to have 7 or 8 people do that rather than 4 or 5, which is the point I was getting at. That was just a really long and tiring interview.
