ADCI - Karnataka Software Engineer interview: timed code and debugging home test

Take-home

I received a home test with two hands-on parts. First, I had a HackerRank or LeetCode-style question in a fixed 40-minute window. Then I had 60 minutes to debug a full-stack-app repository where one API call was not behaving as expected. The task was to find the bug and make changes until every test passed.

I received a home test with two hands-on parts. First, I had a HackerRank or LeetCode-style question in a fixed 40-minute window. Then I had 60 minutes to debug a full-stack-app repository where one API call was not behaving as expected.

The task was to find the bug and make changes until every test passed. It felt hard because a real-project workflow contains moving context, and I needed to trace the failure to the right place under time pressure.

I did not receive an offer. The debugging portion, more than speed alone, made the test genuinely difficult.

Location: Jerusalem, Jerusalem. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
