The virtual screening interview with the HR representative was simple. They reviewed my submitted resume and asked a few targeted questions about specific items throughout.

The technical interview was scheduled a week later and lasted about an hour. The first 20 minutes involved a discussion about my resume and history, with a little extra background on the position itself. The remaining 40 minutes were all CodeLive exercises, during which I was largely left alone.

The first section consisted of a coding problem, and the second section was multiple-choice questions about various nuances of the language in which the coding problem was completed.

Can you describe a past situation where you determined your intended solution wouldn't work, and what did you do to move forward?
