Process

The interview process was good.

The recruiter was very friendly and helped me throughout the process.

The first step was a 20-minute talk with the recruiter, which was not technical.

Then, I received a link for a coding challenge. The challenge was easy.

After I completed the challenge, they set up a phone interview.

Unfortunately, the phone interview did not go well, and they informed me after two days that they would not move forward with my application.

Overall, it was a good experience.

Questions

NDA: I can't mention the questions because of the NDA. The coding challenge questions were basic string and array manipulation questions.

For the interview, they asked me about a project I worked on and then asked me to solve a coding question. It involved dynamic programming.
