Process

I applied through the website.

I was emailed by the recruiter with a link to the coding test.

Within 2-3 days, I got a reply for scheduling a phone interview.

After approximately 8-9 days, I received an email stating the recruiter had an update.

I was called the next day to be informed of the termination of my interview process (rejection).

Questions

Online Coding Test: Two questions, one for correctness, the other for complexity.

Phone Interview: A string-related moderate question.
