Media.net Web Application Developer Interview Experience

This post is about interview experience for a position of Web Application Developer at Media.net. I applied for the role from Instahyre. I got an email from their recruiter regarding interview. I gave one interview round based on logic, algorithms & data structures. The round lasted for around 1.5 hours since I took more time to come up with logic. I was asked these questions (in mentioned order)

• Count ways to reach nth stair
• Minimum number of coins that make a change

• HTML parser without using inbuilt string functions that replaces special characters - Replace & with &, > with > & so on.

  For example, input string: “I am good & bad”

  Output string: “I am good & bad”

Overall, I was able to solve first and third questions completely & second question partially. I am yet to receive the verdict yet, however it was a good interview.

Update - The verdict came in on 23rd, only the next working day after I gave my interview & I didn’t make it. I didn’t receive any feedback from the interviewer/recruiter but the most likely reason for this outcome seems to be that I took longer to solve the questions than expected.
