This was an initial phone screen. The process was very pleasant.

I was contacted by email by HR/Recruiting (two different people, but handled seamlessly) who set up the phone screen. A last-minute schedule conflict was quickly resolved, and I was called at the appointed time.

About 15 minutes of the screening was introductory, covering information about them and me. A few minutes were taken to pose the problem and discuss it, followed by an introduction to the online code-sharing tool (linked to by HR in earlier emails).

Other reviewers have also called out this problem. I should have worked through it ahead of time.

I also should have set up an empty project in my own environment. I could have pasted the initial problem definition into it, which was allowed and would have saved time.

The code-sharing environment has no auto-completion or debugging. It did have syntax coloring, however.
