Personally, Hackerrank screens are absolute fucking garbage. You either give them a phone interview or you don't. I get it that it allows to screen a large number of candidates, but I have failed countless Hackerranks from shit companies who expect you to solve 3 Leetcode hards in 60 mins that I doubt it's a very good way of weeding candidates.
In HackerRank, problems are more ad hoc (not classical algorithms) and thus, often require you to combine multiple algorithms or use them in interesting ways. Use LeetCode to learn DS/A (discussion solutions are very helpful). Use HackerRank to get better at problem solving. Both are important for the interview.
HackerRank is good for learning the syntax of a new language. It is awful for teaching you anything to do with actual software engineering. If you're looking to improve your ability to perform well in a dev job, HackerRank is pretty much useless. Unfortunately, if you want a job, you're going to need to do HackerRank.
Web applications like HackerRank can't just access your cameras/microphones willy nilly, it has to request permission from the browser, and you'll get a popup to accept or deny the request. If you don't see any popups while doing a HackerRank test, then it can't record your webcam, period (except if HackerRank finds an exploit to bypass it
33 votes, 71 comments. true. I meant my comment as a joke, but if you’d like a real answer…. Being positive goes a long ways. People enjoy positivity, and even tolerate excessive positivity, because positive and driven people tend to go a long ways. Don’t focus on bad things, e
The truth is that solving a ton of hackerrank problems means that you understand how to analyze patterns when being presented with a problem prompt and are able to quickly decipher a pet problem into one of a finite set of simple computer science concepts and write some elementary code that demonstrates that.
I prefer Leetcode, but I've seen HackerRank used as part of the interview process, so I'd recommend getting some familiarity with it. That said, part of the reason I prefer Leetcode is because I've seen multiple bugs (unclear/wrong instructions or simple interface issues) in HackerRank, to the point that I lose interest if a company is using ...
Every interview process is different. Some companies use tools like Hackerrank to screen, some use it to evaluate talent at a higher level, some use it to build a corpus of topics for the actual face-to-face interview, some use it to set an expected job level. What did you learn from it? What will you do going forward based on the experience ...
Is hackerrank hard or am I just a bad programmer? I've been working through HackerRank (for like almost a year now) and recently I've been focusing on the mathematics, functional programming, and algorithms sections (I've already completed python and regex).
I think that companies mostly use those tests to filter candidates who don't get 100%, and often do resume screening after the Hackerrank test. So in some way, that is the easiest way for companies to filter candidates before doing the second technical round.
