   string parsing · implementation

   Very long statement; mostly implementation, logic described as easy.

   Technical interview

   Interview round 1: multi-part coding
   Zoom60 min1 questionsmedium

   string parsing · date and time handling · edge-case testing · code quality

   45 minutes for the problem plus 15 for introductions. Internet and own notes allowed, AI not allowed. Scored on parts solved, code quality and communication. Only one sample test per part; candidate must write own edge cases. Company discouraged C++ because of its code-quality checker.

Advice from candidates

5 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

• They advise against using C++ because their automated code quality checker might reject you if you don’t write clean C++ code, so I chose Python even though C++ was my strongest language.

• The most difficult part was to make sure that you are not missing out on any of the edge cases.

• They recommended to not use C++ due to their code quality checker giving low score on C++ so i decided to go with python which turned out to be a very good decision since the string parsing stuff would consume too much time in C++, I would suggest to go with python for all the interview rounds.

• Not only the number of parts solved but also your code quality and communication matters for this round, they only gave me one sample test for each part and expected me to make edge cases test the code on those edge cases so do practice for that.
