New York, NYPosted Apr 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I hit a clearly tougher technical screening sequence: a harder HackerRank round with dynamic programming, then additional technical evaluation that left me unable to reach the next stage.

Online assessment (HackerRank; multiple hard coding tasks) — Two challenging coding questions (often described as dynamic programming) where I couldn’t produce the optimized solution for at least one.
Additional coding screens / code review — One candidate described 2 coding questions plus a code review, emphasizing that good solutions were not easy to come by.
Interview after OA (HackerRank → Skype/codepad) — Another version was HackerRank with two questions followed by a Skype round with one more question; difficulty was high and required LeetCode-level
