Online assessment of 5 questions with Hackerrank. A linux command question, a general coding question, a sql/pandas, a REST API question. Time is kind of tight. Did not move forward after the OA.

I was emailed a timed coding test to solve six questions in sixty minutes. There is just no way in which anyone can solve them in an hour without having seen the questions before or without extensive help. Two hours would be appropriate. The third question in the set was deceitfully worded, with a critical detail left out of the description and the examples both. It was worse, as they don’t seem to know the meaning of the word “adjacent”. I did manage to figure out the solution. Due to this deception, however, I voluntarily withdrew from the interview process.
