Process

Two phone call interviews, each lasting 45 minutes. The interviewers were very helpful and not at all mean. They sort of walked you through the process.

I solved the initial problem pretty quickly, but then they asked you to optimize your solution for memory or space, etc., which can be tricky.

Questions
