Process
Nothing too crazy.
It worked exactly as I expected, to be honest. There were puzzles and basic programming questions to answer, as is typical in tech interviews these days.
I wish that they had taken more time to prep us before the interview process began, so we would know what to expect walking into it.
Questions
They asked me to build a tic-tac-toe game with methods.
