Hi guys
I just completed my onsite coding interview with Meta E4 this week (24 October). Can you guys evaluate whether my case is PASSED or FAILED? During all the coding rounds, I talked most of the time, thinking out loud, and explained my thinking and solution step by step by commenting into the IDE, as I did when I dry-run test cases.
Onsite Coding 1: For first questions, I jumped directly into optimal solution and solved it (I didn't know why I did that at time, lol, not like my phone screen). Second question, I only gave him not optimal solution, but I proposed a better sub-optimal for some edge case (the question included +/- number, but my sub-optimal only worked + number). I asked him can I could propose my idea with that condition and he said ok, but I think he only wanted the optimal for all cases. I explained it could work if use INT_MAX, but he wasn't ok with it, I asked him to code my sub solution but he said not needed.
Onsite Coding 2: Interviewer was interactive this round, he asked questions to clarify my solution, and helped me to fix bug (he just asked to run test case, bug I fixed by myself it after I ran it) First questions, went well, but I needed to fix some bug while running test cases. Second questions, I proposed solution to optimal solution, and then I coded it. Like question 1, I ran a test case and fixed a bug while running it. But in the end, I just saw my potential bug but the Interviewer did not point (didn't know if he saw it or not, lol).
Behavioral: went well
Android Design: wen well - >= hire
Sorry that I signed NDA so cannot share question.
