I have recently given the ZScalar Sr Staff Engineer and it was really bad experience. They asked me DSA Hard leet code problem A transformation sequence from word beginWord to word endWord using a dictionary wordList is a sequence of words beginWord -> s1 -> s2 -> ... -> sk such that, example Input: beginWord = "hit", endWord = "cog", wordList = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log","cog"] Output: 5 I gave answer, explianed time and space complexity as well. It was failing because I did string matching in wrong way, somehow missed it. Otherwise 100% logic was correct. Verdict : Strong No Hire It was really bad that for 13 years experience folks they expect the HARD DSA problem and my interviewer was 7 years experienced only. The level of their immaturity was evidently visible Interviewer was super rude, they did not turn on camera, however I was told to turn on camera, share screen too. #Zscalar
