5th round -
Real world coding challenge (LLD can use internet not AI)
he give 3 API to implement which is not possible to do that in one hr
this was worst Interview First Interviewer kill 30 min asking my past project tech question though he is not HM seems SDE-2 level, and then he provide 3 APIs to write. I have coded one API and that was working fine.
** this guy is super unprofessional and jealous with my experience
1. Write a method to call the Nominatim API and return an address for a given pair of longitude and latitude.
https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/api/Overview/
2. Write a method to return the house_number and read for this CSV file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kelvins/US-Cities-Database/main/csv/us_cities.csv
3. Write a method to calculate the route between two cities using the OSRM API
You can use the cities from question #2
http://project-osrm.org/docs/v5.23.0/api/#route-service
Bonus: Build APIs to expose all the different methods
Post that i call recrutier for feedback but she didn't provide any update and ask me to reach out to another recuriter, seems like too much political then i reach out to another recruiter and he send me reject mail without explaining any reason.
Verdict - Rejected. Company took 6 rounds but did not care to give any feedback even after following up. Found couple of red flag coding seems ok, but LLD round was worst.
Also they kill 1.5 months in process and though after all round went well they do not provide detailed feeback.
Seems like Interview Scam, Do not waste your Time and energy with this fuc**ng Company. Even if people are in notice period and have less time they do not expedite the process as well. I applied due to the remote company but do not waste time here.
I hope this will help leetcode community.
