Recruiter reached out and an interview was setup.
45 mins debugging interview to fix 5 test cases for a tree ordering function. Was able to fix the test cases in time and was positive to go further. No other questions asked.
Received a rejection next morning, no other explanation from the recruiter after follow up. Felt like a waste of my time.

Question 1
debugging interview to fix 5 test cases for a tree ordering function.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Apr 2021
Interview
The interview structure was pretty standard: phone screening followed by full day interview.
What stood out is the questions that were asked. Instead of generic ACM-like questions regarding standard algorithms, questions involved tasks similar to ones software engineer expected to face in the real world.
One of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever taken
