What are startups expecting when they ask you to solve a programming challenge before interviewing? [closed]
- by Swapnil Tailor
I have applied to couple of startups and most of them are asking to solve programming challenge before they start on the interviewing candidate.
I have submitted couple of the solutions and all the time getting rejected in the initial screening.
Now what I think is, they will see my coding style, algorithm and OOD concepts that I have used to solve the problem. Can you guys input more on it as what other details are taken into consideration and how can I improve my coding for getting selected.
By the way, I did all my coding in either Java/Perl.
EDIT
I feel the biggest reason for rejection is code didn't work for couple of use cases.
