Process

The phone screen lasted about 45 minutes to an hour and consisted of two technical questions: one describing an algorithm and the other an actual coding question on a shared Google Doc.

I spoke for about 90% of the time, with the interviewer chiming in only at the very end. Overall, it was a good, calm experience.
