Process
One 30-min HR interview. It went through my resume and asked several behavioral questions.
One technical interview. I was asked to do an OOP problem on screen. The difficulty was average, but the interviewer wasn't very good at leading the direction of effort. It's not a typical software engineering interview, but I feel like it is expected for a small startup.
