Process
First phase: Manager interview. Expect a few simple technical questions or a code review.
Second phase: Technical interview. This phase starts with a presentation about a project. It is then followed by two problems. Typically, one is a simpler algorithmic problem to demonstrate proficiency in problem-solving and the chosen language, while the other is more advanced, requiring deeper knowledge of data structures and some design work.
Finally, there will be some networking.
