Process

I had a conversation with the engineering manager, and weeks later, they sent me a programming project to complete. It was an easy, university sophomore/junior-level project.

Then, they invited me onsite. It was so weird because all interviews were through video conference with the team in Seattle. I still don't see the point of me coming onsite.

I was doing exercises on CoderPad, and they didn't even have full access to CoderPad. It kept saying that the trial for CoderPad was over, and they would send me a new link, and I had to write everything all over again.

Definitely the most unorganized interview I've ever had.
