Introduction
It was my 9:00 PM mock interview, and it was my fourth interview as an interviewee. I had chance to work with the interviewer, and I answered the first three algorithms and explained the ideas in the first 12 minutes, and then moved on the fourth algorithm which is the hard level Leetcode 212 Trie. I explained the idea how to solve the algorithm, and wrote the code until we reached 45 minutes mark. We chat about 15 minutes about practicing and learning.
I had 10:00 PM mock interview as an interviewer, and I did not explain to the interviewer of 9:00 PM until 10:01 PM. I rushed to say goodbye and then started my 10:02 mock interview.

My feedback as an interviewee
Would you want to work with this person? *
Yes
How excited would you be to work with them?
Where do I sign?!!?
How good were the questions?
Really useful/awesome!
How helpful was your interviewer in guiding you to the solution(s)?
Awesome!
Help your interviewer get better!
He is very generous to share with me, give me instant feedback.
I did not analyze the trie and design very well. He gave me some good advice to write the code with API of trie first.
Interviewer's feedback
Do you want to advance this person to the next round (e.g. onsite)? *
No
How were their technical skills?
Could use improvement
How was their problem solving ability?
Could use improvement
What about their communication ability?
Amazing!
Help your interviewee get better!
The interviewee has really good communication skills. But the coding needs some improvement. She mentioned that the problem is familiar to her and she had solved it before. But when it came to implementation she was trying to remember the steps instead of trying to think by herself.
The code was not well structured and as we spent a lot of time just trying to come up with the algorithm there was not enough time to implement everything.
