Check if the connect 4 game is one move from winning
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
Applied online. Recruiter asked me to schedule an initial phone interview.
Phone interview was resume review and a medium leetcode question. The interviewer was very nice. I passed the phone interview and was moved to onsite.
The onsite had two back to back one hour coding interviews, one with two interviewers and other with only one. I was asked a total of four coding questions. I solved three of them easily but had to take hints from the interviewer to solve one problem.
I received a rejection mail in three days with generic feedback, which is disappointing because I thought I did really well.
Overall, the interview process was ok.
