Process
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and scheduled a phone screen.
This was followed by a hiring manager interview.
Next, there was a take-home assignment that could be completed in a couple of hours with minimum effort, or take approximately 8 hours for a more solid effort.
Finally, a virtual on-site interview occurred, consisting of about 6 sections and lasting approximately 4 hours.
Questions
How would you extend your take-home project to handle multiple file types?
