Process
Received a 90-minute coding challenge with 3 problems. The problems were at a LeetCode medium level, and I'm pretty sure I've seen variations of 2 out of 3 of those questions on LeetCode already.
Finished the assessment with plenty of time to spare, though it would have taken longer if I had never seen similar problems before.
