Process
The interview was mostly technical, consisting of two 45-minute sessions.
The first interviewer was good but did not provide guidance or feedback when I slightly struggled on the coding problem.
The second interviewer was nice. I finished the programming problem and was asked to explain additional ways to solve it, verbally walking him through each approach.
