Process
I sent my resume through the portal and was asked to complete a coding challenge. Surprisingly, I moved to the next round despite my slow runtime, which meant I didn't pass all the tests on HackerRank.
Then, I was scheduled for a call with an engineer. He was very helpful and nice throughout the interview process.
Questions
I was asked to create a class that counted bubbles based on a timer.
