Summary
Failed to secure a position at Urban Company despite solving some interview questions, with feedback highlighting poor code quality as the main issue.
Full Experience
Started with an online assessment (OA) containing two questions: one on topological sorting with greedy approach and another on bitmask DP. Managed to complete only 1.5 questions due to technical issues with the online compiler. In the first round interview, faced a hard greedy problem which I solved and coded, but encountered issues with the compiler taking 15 minutes to run. Also tackled a trie-based problem, solving it quickly and writing pseudocode on paper. The interview concluded with a rejection, citing poor code quality as the primary concern.
Interview Questions (2)
A challenging problem requiring a greedy approach. The candidate was able to solve it and code the solution, but faced issues with the online compiler taking 15 minutes to run test cases. All test cases passed once the compiler was functional.
A problem involving trie data structure. The candidate solved it quickly and was able to write the approach and pseudocode on paper within a few minutes.
Preparation Tips
Focus on improving code quality in addition to solving problems. Practice coding under time constraints and ensure that solutions are well-structured and efficient.
