Process

I applied online. The process took 1+ week.

Basic programming questions in an automated environment before getting rejected for some reason. No feedback. Maybe the position was already filled. It may have worked out at the end otherwise.

Questions

Basic programming, dynamic programming, bag problems, sorting, trees, and etc.
