Process

An internal recruiter, who found me on LinkedIn, emailed me.

We set up a phone call and discussed my qualifications and the job.

The recruiter then set up a technical call.

Questions

I was not well prepared for the technical portion of the process. While I am quite capable of writing good code, I was not expecting what, to me, seemed like esoteric questions.
