I applied online. I interviewed at Voleon (Berkeley, CA) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was asked to complete a coding challenge on hackerrank. There were some technical difficulties but I ended up submitting it. While I passed all the test cases on the hackerrank website, they felt code wasn't easy to understand and that was the primary reason they didn't want to move forward. Personally, I didn't think it was difficult to understand but I have heard that feedback before and I don't have a significant amount of software experience, so I just took the feedback in stride.
The challenge is not difficult; however, the directions are difficult to understand and there's some ambiguity/vagueness in the directions which make it hard to understand what to do in certain cases. I was pretty convinced that one of the test cases was based on a different interpretation of the directions than what was stated. I feel that their challenge needs to be significantly re-worked so that it's clearer.
The interviewer was pretty helpful when it came to nudging me to the right direction. They gave me 45 minutes for the coding part and 15 minutes for behavioral. Sometimes I felt like the interviewer was not really paying attention to the tab i was coding on.

Question 1
Leetcode Medium question was asked during my first technical round. It was a greedy problem.
Get all questions done almost perfectly but still get rejected. Do not understand why. Most of the interviews are helpful and nice but only one shows totally no respects towards candidate.
