Process
I applied on their career website, and it took three weeks to set up an interview. The first technical interview was over the phone, with typing code on Google Docs. I chose C++ as I am confident with its syntax compared to other languages. I got a callback after two weeks to inform me that I didn't get through the interview.
Questions
I can't tell the exact question. The first one was related to Dijkstra's algorithm, and the second question was based on string manipulation.
