Process
There were three coding questions and then one video question.
The coding questions involved basic coding, not algorithms. If I recall correctly, the language was Java, and there was no choice. There was no time limit for the coding portion, but the video question was timed.
Questions
A financial greedy algorithm problem.

Good Benefits, Long Hours
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
February 6, 2017
Pros: Great benefits, job security, and you have the ability to work in other cities as it is a large company.
Cons: Long hours, as it is a global company. Meetings have to be scheduled so all attendees from several countries can make it.
This forces you to take 5 a.m. or 6 p.m. meetings a couple times a week.
Projects take much longer to complete due to developers working across different countries. It also takes a lot longer to complete projects due to needing approval from the New York office technology department before proceeding with each step of development.
