Process
I was contacted via email by a sourcer who saw my LinkedIn profile. A non-technical phone screen followed a week later.
After that, I was introduced to a recruiter who asked about my availability for the technical interview.
I had the technical interview and received a call back a week later!
Questions
Signed an NDA. It wasn't very difficult though.
Know your fundamentals: arrays, hashes, trees, complexity, etc.
I studied using "Cracking the Coding Interview," LeetCode, and interviewbit.com, if anybody is interested.
