Process
I had a distinctly negative experience interviewing here.
The higher-up I spoke to was continually looking away from the Zoom camera to check his email or something.
In the second coding challenge, the interviewer also didn't understand the solution I mentioned. The dynamic programming method I explained was equivalent, and he didn't get it.
Questions
A few coding challenges, then one or two behavioral questions.
