Had a 15 minute chat with the HR person, she started off by saying, "by dissecting my resume, she did not think I was a good fit for the role and would not move me forward.

basics of c printfs. The patterns used in clg days was a bit confusing for a 15 yrs exp person like me. Dont know if its of any use on daily work as a SDE. Then BST programs 30mins 3 programs. Had written 2 and half and its correct for sure. Did ask for 5 extra mins to complete. But was denied.
