Process
I received a self-assessment on HackerRank very quickly. The test was not a typical algorithm question. Instead, it was a code review exercise with many uncommon (at least to me) issues to fix. You also had to reduce the complexity of the code, which eventually turned it into more of an algorithmic problem.
