Process

I told them I had a deadline at the very beginning, and they were very quick about everything. I was contacted by the recruiter and was set up with an interview within the week. The recruiter and interviewers were all very nice. They weren't incredibly helpful during the interview, and I definitely stumbled, but they understand when people are thinking about the problem from a different way.

Interview tip: rambling is better than silence. State all the assumptions. They really seemed to have liked it when I mentioned all the cases I would be dealing with and had me write down notes for each.
