Process

The phone interview starts directly with technical questions.

The acknowledge it involves is about an array of strings and an array of integers. Therefore, the algorithms part is simple, but the coding part is tedious, with many corner cases to consider.

The interviewer may give you some hints, but it is not guaranteed. I guess they really want people who write code every day.

Questions

The corner case is not easy to cover completely.
