Process
Passed resume screening, and the recruiter contacted me pretty quickly.
I think they sent the HackerRank challenges to most candidates, but be aware that it's quite difficult if you're not prepared.
I'd suggest looking over OS concepts. Also, use Python for projects to get used to its syntax.
Questions
Multiple choice questions on OS, OOP, and other DS/A.
Coding question to assess style and code quality.
