Process

A series of interviews were conducted by phone.

The first was a basic screening interview, followed by two technical interviews.

Both technical interviews were conducted using a web application called CoderPad (not to be confused with Codepad).

The technical interviews each lasted about one hour, with some time allocated for Q&A.

It is nice to be able to run code via CoderPad while working through a problem, however, it can still be slightly awkward to be interviewed over the phone.

Questions
