Process
The recruiter was very helpful, but the whole process can take a few weeks.
Usually, there are 4-5 technical interviews about algorithms and data structures. Each one gives a problem with a specific question, but it develops several concepts.
Be sure to think out loud and start from something simpler if you get stuck. Pretend the interviewer is your colleague.
Spend some time beforehand practicing code on a site like HackerRank.com so you are comfortable writing code on command.
Questions
One of the reviewers was a bit cocky.
Stay calm in situations like that. Ignore whatever is bothering you and just address the question at hand.
