Process
There were two rounds, 45 minutes each, with two problems for each round.
They went straight into their questions. If you got stuck somewhere, they would give you a hint. They hoped to help you go as far as you could.
Questions
They gave me a piece of code, which uses function calls and a recursive structure, and asked me to tell them what the code does. Also, they asked me to design a database that satisfies some functionality.
