Process

The interview process started with an email from the recruiter containing a link to some technical questions. The questions were a bit challenging but fun to complete, as their solutions required out-of-the-box thinking.

Afterwards, a phone interview with the recruiter followed, which seemed to gauge personality.

The recruiter then emailed me a few pages from a PDF with a project to complete for a Skype meeting. I was given seven days to finish it, and the project was quite difficult, so I didn't fully complete it.

The interviewer asked me some questions about how and why I approached certain aspects of the project, then moved on to more general questions to gauge my technical ability. Overall, it was not a bad interview process.
