Process
I completed a technical phone screen which asked me a question related to sorting and grouping objects on a screen.
I also spoke with the hiring manager who explained to me their primary goals and initiatives. I was interested to find out they take some pretty advanced measures to protect customer experience and are contributing to open-source projects to advance modern frameworks.
Questions
How would you sort a group of objects from left to right based on points?
How would you sort a group of objects with distributed y-axis and x-axis to be grouped from top to bottom and left to right?

The company has a conspicuous lack of ego, and everyone is just really good at what they do and extremely kind. Lots of opportunity to build new things, be heavily involved in product decisions, and solve hard technical problems (all at once).Cons: The company is growing really fast, which comes with some tensions that any growing company has, but it's still coping with them as well as any I’ve seen.
