Process
I was referred and received an email for an interview. The interview was conducted by a peer. There were questions about general knowledge, my resume, and then some coding questions. I was not asked to write down anything for the code, just to speak through my answers.
Questions
TCP vs UDP
And some easy to medium level coding questions.
