Sometimes the process takes a few weeks. If at any time you want an update, contact your recruiter and they should let you know what the likely timeframe is. @Nikhil - They will always get back to you with a response.

Also, pessimistically speaking, do they inform me even if it doesnt work out? Some companies have this policy of silence (instead of letting the candidate know)! Hi,

A harder problem might get you a bonus point with some graders. However, the harder the problem, generally, the more code it takes to solve which results in more chances to make mistakes that could result in a bad grade. On the other hand, poor techniques on an easier problem is probably judged more negatively. I would say that you should pick whichever problem you feel you can best solve. Assuming you can provide a great solution, it doesn't matter which problem you solve. Well, I would say that you can rank them in terms of difficulty.

I currently have the 3 coding problems in front of me and I am wondering which one to pick. Does it matter? Will it affect the screening? Please let me know. Thank you! Prama Hi,
