Process

I applied online and received an email the next day stating that I was a good fit for the position. HR was friendly and scheduled me for a technical interview next week over the phone. In this interview, I was asked to write code in a Google Doc.

Questions

The questions were not that difficult; I just wasn't prepared enough. I was asked to implement an LRU cache. The interviewer was patient and helped me through it.
