I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tinder (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied online, and the recruitment coordinator contacted me 2 days later. We had a casual first phone interview, after which, she immediately scheduled a technical interview with me in 3-4 days. Up to this point, it all went very well. The technical interview was the turning point... It lasted about 50 minutes. Not only the interviewer was in an open space with a lot of background noises, but he also had an accent. Almost half of the time was spent on me asking "what?", "say that again?", "sorry, I can't hear you..." and him repeating. All in all, it felt like they didn't plan the interview ahead of time. Very unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Knowing that you start off with a sorted array of numbers which you don't know what the content is, that array is rotated an unknown number of times, and you end up with another array. Find out how many times you have to rotate it back to put it back like how it was.
We're sorry to hear you didn't have a positive interview experience. Thanks for sharing your feedback as it helps us identify opportunities for improvement in our recruiting process.
