Process

I applied for a software engineer position for new graduates. The HR representative was very nice.

I had one phone interview. The interviewer asked me to write code to convert a fractional number a/b to its decimal representation. The function name was something like decimal_conversion(a, b).

I explained the algorithm and wrote down the code in a Google Doc.
