Process

The recruiter was very nice, allowing flexible time to schedule an interview. I attended the first round of interviews in the process, which was a 1-hour Zoom meeting that consisted of technical questions and a whiteboarding code-pairing problem on HackerRank.

I was clearly very nervous, but the interviewer was very nice and really tried to help me solve the coding problem; he seemed to be advocating for me to solve it. It was an easy problem, but I let my nervousness get the best of me, so I didn't make it to the next round. The interview consisted of a quick 10 minutes of technical questions, followed by a single coding problem.
