Process
Terrible interview experience. I'd like to confirm that you should not waste your time.
The interviewer forgot to call me, and the recruiter brought in someone new right away. However, this person was completely disconnected. I honestly don't know how they can evaluate collaboration when the interviewer is completely out of focus and doing their own thing.
Please don't waste your time here.
Questions
The first call took 50% of the interview time to just state the problem. The second problem was straightforward data structure design.
