Process

Phone interview - 45-minute call with an engineer.

There were two problems:

  • One warm-up problem, about the difficulty of FizzBuzz.
  • A few minutes afterward for me to ask questions.

All in all, it was thoroughly enjoyable. It felt more like pair-programming with the interviewer than like an interview.

Questions

Under NDA, it had to do with graph traversal and search.
