Question 1
Why am i interested in the company? and a project i did
Initial interview, large project, then superday. After spending around 20 hrs on the project, was expected to live code during the superday. Strenuous interview process and should not expect free labor out of candidates in this fashion.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Apollo Global Management in Jun 2025
Interview
Pretty difficult hacker rack assessment for stage 1. 3 problems -- 1 OOP Python, 1 LC medium, 1 SQL problem.
Python oop problem was significantly easier than the LC medium.
The sql problem was also straight foward if using unions, but could not remember the syntax.
LC medium was solvable with brute force but did not pass half of test cases.
