A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn and called to ask basic career questions. Then, I was given online coding problems to solve. I solved them all just in time; none of my friends finished in time, though.

Next, I had a phone interview, coding in a Google Doc. The engineer called on time. He spoke exceptionally softly and had a very heavy Indian accent that made it very hard to understand what he was saying. I felt bad asking different variations of "Can you repeat that?" so many times, but I really couldn't make out his questions otherwise. I think he might have seen this as me not understanding the question and may have counted it against me.

The document they sent to prepare said I could do the questions in C#, so that's what I prepared to do, but the engineer seemed thrown off. We had a bit of a complication when he didn't know if null in C# was the same as null in Java.

I didn't get to the next interview, but it was a positive experience nonetheless.
