Phone Screen (Nicest HR person), Technical Interview (Leetcode Easy), ANOTHER Technical Interview (Leetcode LOL (Easy) and SQL) After the HR screen, I was interviewed by an engineer. I was asked the valid parenthesis problem from leetcode. I solved it in the most efficient way, but was told that my solution was O(n^2) which was preposterous because i can see my time complexity in leetcode and it beat 90%+ of the submissions. He was almost a new grad(1yr exp), but was a manager......... moving on, he later realized it and he scheduled another tech screen. Another new grad-ish turned manager way too soon. First question fizz buzz lol. Second question, design a MySQL schema, so, I designed an elaborate schema that allowed them to obtain unstructured data AND structured data, but that was waaaay too much for her to understand(she assumed I did it wrong? idk), so, I did it in the most basic way, but couldn't remember the MySQL commands for averaging stuff (probably just AVG or something), so, I loaded the information into my python (using a MySQL cursor)code and gave her the answer. She tried correcting my python code, but then she realized it was fine. Rejection the following week. Please have more competent engineers do the interviews.

First I had a phone screen with the HR asking general questions. Afterward a phone screen with the CIO who did the interview while driving. It was very hard for me to understand what he was asking. After that, I was invited for a set of interviews on site. I had two sessions (instead of three, saying the next person had a crisis) both asked about randomness. Both asked me if I wanted to find a better solution to the problem or to write the code. Which I found uncool. This situation is hard enough, I don't think this is a decision the candidate should make. Although they gave me the feeling I was during great and tried to convince me that I would love to work there, I got a rejection the next day...
