November 1, 2016
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first interview was a simple phone pre-screening. The second interview was a difficult 45-minute technical interview. This was made more so by the challenge of thinking of solutions while being watched. You used a shared document that both you and the interviewer could edit. A take-home test would have been more realistic.
