Process
The interview was pretty straightforward.
First, they asked about the projects I'd worked on in the past, followed by a coding question.
It seems like the people at the company are very smart, with many holding PhDs in math, statistics, or computer science (including my interviewer, who had a CS PhD).
Questions
The coding problem was not hard, but I was sleep-deprived at the time, so I wasn't thinking straight.
