Interview
I haven't felt compelled to review a company for their horrible interview process in 7 years, but this was bad. I applied to the position, next day got a request for a 45 minute video interview. The day after that, I got an automated rejection. There wasn't a person to ask wth was going on, no point of contact. All it gave was some generic phone number that was probably a black hole. I started getting reminder emails to take the test. A few days later I did, well part of it anyway. I figured the rejection email was a mistake, or ... whatever. A bunch of questions over video where you talk to a screen (no, there was no person on the other end). Semi-technical, like "tell us about your experience creating infrastructure via code" etc. At the end, I get to the coding question. Their coding system only lets you use Javascript, Python, or Go. No Java, C#, Kotlin, TypeScript, etc. In addition, they don't have a reasonable mechanism where you fill in a function or whatever. Instead you basically print out the results and its system tests on that. Complete amateur hour. Besides this question just being a memorization one and not a problem-solving question (e.g., 2-pointers, hash table, binary search, etc.), it had already been 25 minutes, so I guess they wanted some speed coding in an extremely messy coding environment. I just exited the interview and didn't waste any more time. I wish they had made the coding question first so I hadn't wasted my time with the video responses. Easily the most impersonal interview experience I've ever had. You can't even get another human to talk to the candidate for the non-coding questions? You can't use any of the half dozen platforms every other company uses for the coding part that actually work well? Good luck getting quality hires with this system.

Question 1
Implement priority queue using this horribly messy coding environment instead of one of the ones that actually work well, and you have to do it in JavaScript, Python, or Go.
