Process
A recruiter emailed me out of the blue and asked me to schedule a phone interview.
The interviewer shared a CoderPad link. There were two programming questions. The interviewer was idle; he just gave the problems and went into his own world. I could hear him talking with someone else while the interview was ongoing.
