Process

I was given two phone interviews, then an on-site interview. The on-site interview involved two whiteboard tasks and a pair programming task.

The phone interviews balanced questions about my resume and technical questions, which were of average difficulty.

The whiteboard tasks were mainly technical and were fairly difficult, mostly algorithms.

The pair programming task was fairly easy. Although the one I received was in Objective-C (a language I knew nothing about), I was allowed to ask questions about it.
