​I am very frustrated, since I was given a high hope for it. There are three rounds of interview. First round is online coding on HackerRank with video recording. Second round is a person-to-person interview with online video meeting and coding on website board. Third round is talking to the team lead, which has no coding but behavior questions. After three rounds, HR followed up by asking me question such as salary and starting time in the 2nd day. HR somehow congrats me and said they like me, which makes the outcome more like a tragedy... After two weeks waiting, I sent HR email asking the progress. HR replied the email in second and rejected the application (with a template).

I received an email for a HackerRank challenge approximately two weeks after applying online. The challenge is a 60-min, two-problem coding practice. The email specifically indicated that the problems would not be "brain teasers" or "unsolvable" which they exactly were, especially the second one. It took me a while just to understand what they wanted me to solve. I think these type of questions would be more appropriate for a white board interview where you can talk over your thought process, but not for an online challenge with limited time where you have to get code running.
