Process
Applied online (and through a referral from a current employee).
Received an email from the recruiter and provided a few interview dates. Had two consecutive 45-minute phone interviews two weeks later.
The first interviewer was good, but the second was silent and did not provide helpful guidance as I struggled to find the answers.
Received a response within a week from the recruiter. Pretty typical interview process.
Questions
Basic data structure and algorithms problems (implement itoa, design a search API).
Implement the pow function efficiently.
