Process

In all cases the interviewers seem quite nice except for one person who sat in watching and never introduced themselves.

First round was a 1 hour with a ~30min programming exercise and general chat about my experience.

Second round was supposed to be 3 one hour sessions but after two they had already decided to not bother finishing up and gave no feedback as to why. This seems in keeping with other reviews here so don't be surprised if it happens.

Questions

The questions were in the HackerRank or LeetCode style.
