Process

I was contacted by a recruiter to go to a networking event for my university. Then, I completed the HackerRank coding challenge, which was pretty straightforward.

After that, I had a 15-minute call with an engineer to talk through my solution. He asked me to walk through my code and if I would change anything about it.

After that, two back-to-back 45-minute technical phone interviews via CoderPad.
