I don't mind algorithms and brain teasers if they are presented well. As in the interviewer makes it clear they aren't looking for a single right answer but want observe how you solve a problem. Plus I enjoy a good puzzle.

My problem with hackerrank is that the problem statements are often unclear and have artificially short deadlines. I feel like it forces my to use unreadable and sloppy coding to just get any solution out the door before the timer runs out.
