Beginning the process, you will receive an email from the recruiter, and you will continue talking with them throughout the entire process. They also give you some hints for preparing for the interview.

All the interviews focused on algorithms, each one really different and sometimes tricky and funny. You need to be open-minded to catch the trick and get in depth with the problem.

Really awesome experience.

Questions
