I had Karat round through the coinbase company.
Interview format like this:
7 min- Introduction
10 min - Api Design.
43 min: 2 DS, Algo quesy
I got rejected, But i have few feedback on this.
Feedback i received is that designing skills are very poor.
I am not sure how someone can evaluate somebody's designing skill in just 5 min?
In this 7 min, he explained the question in 2 min and then i needed to design in 5 min.
Please be aware that if you ask any question then you are wasting time, as timer is on. Interviewer was constantly reminding me that your time starts now, 2 min remaining, and then 1 min remaining.
There is no good or bad design, unless you discuss it. Design is not a mathematical equation where you just need to solve the equation and give the output.
Coinbase might loose some good candidates (not me) due to Karat.
I will not ever recommend Karat.
