Process
The technical round was very tough. They made me build a text editor along with three other problems within a duration of 60 minutes. The time was really limited. The test was proctored, which made it mentally challenging, as you didn't know what could disqualify your test result.
The website stated you could use Google to find syntax, but that was it. It wasn't really clear what you could Google and what you could not.
Questions
