Process

It was really technical.

After making sure I was the right candidate to talk to, the interviewer started to type the description of an algorithm problem on Google Docs. It was my first phone interview, so I was really nervous.

I cannot remember many details, but I know I didn't answer it well. The result was a rejection phone call.

Questions

An algorithm problem on matrices.
