Process
I was contacted by email and asked if I was interested in a software engineering position.
The technical interview was conducted by telephone, and I was asked to write my answers in a Google Docs document.
Unfortunately, the telephone line was not clear, so I had some trouble hearing the interviewer. Make sure your phone works well in speaker mode, as you will need both your hands to write the code!
Questions
I was asked not to publish the questions being asked in the interview.
