Two technical 45-minute phone interviews. Interviewers had you code in Google Docs. Interviewers didn't seem super prepared or coordinated. Pretty much all questions were ad-hoc.

N Project Matching Interviews:

Nontechnical, just discussing what a project would entail and determining if it would be a good fit.

Questions

How would you design a distributed key-value store?
