Process

I was contacted through a recruiter and had an initial chat. Following that, I was set up for a phone interview based on coding.

They tested coding on a Google Doc.

On the day of the interview, I was asked to write code for a BST. I provided the correct and best solution.

The next day, I was given a rejection.
