1st Interviewer asked me 3 medium questions 1st Q: https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-arrows-to-burst-balloons/ 2nd Q: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-the-largest-three-elements-in-an-array/ 3rd Q: I don't remember now it was also leetcode medium Did all three, one with some hints from the interviewer was shortlisted and got to the second round Second Round: He was a senior engineer, and was clearly not interested in the interview During the whole interview he did not say a single word other than explaining to me the question, the question was the hardest question I've seen or heard in the interview. The question was: You will be given an array of objects each object will contain a string of a sentence and a weight (int) You need to write an algorithm for searching the words in the sentence and the result should be according to the weight of the parent sentence For example ; Good things come and go, 30 Alice loves Bob's things, 40 So the user can search for "thi" and the output would be First: Alice loves bob's things Second : Good things come and go Also user should not be able to search anything by string "hings" or "ome" because it doesn't start with any word in any sentence I don't know what I did wrong here Did not get any further calls from them. ;(
