Process

After a call with a recruiter briefly discussing elements of my resume, I had two technical phone interviews.

Both were about 30 minutes long and started with a relatively simple coding question. They then had extensions mostly for discussion about how I would modify or test various aspects of my solution.

Questions

Typical algorithm and data structures questions.

They cared much more about the thought process than on syntax.
