Process

I received an invitation from a recruiter due to the nearing end of graduate school. This was general and informational.

Next, a technical/coding interview was set up. In the technical interview, I spoke 1:1 with a software engineer. A question was asked, and I worked in a Google Doc where the interviewer observed and occasionally added input.

Questions
