Meta | Phone Screen | 2024-01-24 | Rejected

I had my meta phone screen recently. The interview was ~10 mins behavioral questions. Nothing difficult. Things like "tell me about a project you worked on". ~40 minutes were for coding. The questions were non-standard (I believe) and easy complexity though I don't know what they were looking for because I was rejected. My interviewer did not understand Python well and needed to be walked through how a for loop with range works for example after I had talked through it.

Questions were:

1. Given a current working directory string, and the input to a cd command as a string, output the full path to the new working directory.
2. Given two linked lists containing string values, output if the linked lists spell out the same string.
3. The interviewer was not interested in worst case big O time complexity. They were looking for best average case. Something like using one queue for each linked list and pushing strings to the queues. But I can't be sure as I recieved no feedback other than rejection.

Good luck out there
