Process
They were really friendly and accommodating. Because I had a deadline, they expedited my process and gave me a response within 1-2 days after I finished the interview.
However, their interview process is really hard. Their initial coding challenge is pretty easy, but afterwards, the technical Skype interviews are quite difficult.
They require you to write a lot of code within a short period of time, while the algorithms themselves aren't very easy.
