I recently took a HackerRank assessment and found it to be quite challenging. The questions were complex and required a good understanding of coding concepts and algorithms. The time limit was tight, which added to the pressure, but I appreciated the opportunity to showcase my skills and knowledge. The platform was user-friendly and provided a seamless experience. The test covered a wide range of topics, from data structures and algorithms to database management and software engineering. This made it a well-rounded assessment of my technical abilities. Overall, I found the experience to be both challenging and rewarding. I believe that HackerRank is a great tool for individuals looking to showcase their coding skills and for companies looking to assess the technical abilities of potential candidates. While I still have a lot to learn, I feel that I have gained valuable experience and insight into my strengths and weaknesses as a coder.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A really long and challenging question about arrays. You definitely need to practice for a good amount of time. It was my first time on hacker rank and I learnt a lesson.
Peer programming with two engineers. asked general behavioural and went straight into hacker rank. Regular OOP styled, cant specify question but was not too difficult. pick java or python as language
Online coding assessment followed by video interview followed by assessment centre. Coding assessment included a SQL question, a data structures and algorithms question, and a question that involved calling a REST API endpoint
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
There were 3 interview processes for this job. The first was a technical test that utilised HackerRank-based questions, and after that is the maki assessment based on your cultural fit. Lastly, there is a Zoom interview with an engineer of the team.
