Process
The process left a really sour taste in my mouth.
I got an OA a few weeks after the application. It had a 70-minute time limit and featured four problems on CodeSignal. The provided environment did not have all C++ STL containers, which prevented me from solving all of the problems effectively.
The OA assumes you are planning to cheat, so you have to share your camera, your mic, and your screen. This tells volumes about the company culture. I am happy to not apply ever again.
