Process
I applied through a career site in February. Three weeks later, I received an email with a coding test. There were two problems for 90 minutes.
After a month, I got an email for a phone interview. There were three phone interviews overall.
The first two were in May. After a week, I received an email for the third one, as they weren't sure about my previous answers.
Questions
First interview question was on hash.
Second interview: Write a class on getting item prices and timestamps.
Third interview: Implement a deleteBinaryTree method and some questions on it.
